Please say yes

Little bear does not say yes. He says a lot of words now, including a very chirpy dismissive 'bye' but he does not say yes. If you ask him if he wants chocolate, he may try and grab, but he won't say yes.

He will say no, and give a shake of his head. Sometimes the no is doubtful, sometimes emphatic and often with a gorgeous smile.

At the moment I am also trying to get him to choose between two things. Usually it is something like juice or milk, or cereal or toast. I just get The Look and he gets what I think is the best guess.

What is particularly irritating is that I am sure he understands what I say, I am confident that if he really wanted to say something he would. He just finds mother amusing.
