"Dr No And His Eagles"

Dr No and his entourage of siblings, parents and Dog have come to live with me. To say that life in this tiny Hobbit house has been turned upside down would be an understatement. Vast amounts of kinetic energy, laughter, talking, talking, talking, weeping, stomping around, and death defying climbs up the stairs now abound in this once-quiet, once-sleepy address in The Shire.   As for Dr No - his very (very) favorite word is - of course - "NO!" Trying to exert control over his two year-old world, Dr No uses "NO!" to great - and sometimes very humorous -  ends.    For instance -    Me: Good morning Jackie (Dr No's alias is Jack..)   Dr No: NO!!   Me: [coughing]   Dr No: NO!!   Me: [looking in his general direction]   Dr No: NO!!   Me: Jackie - do you want to get down from my lap?   Dr No: NO!   Me: Well - that's ok - you can sit with me if you want. Dr No: NO!!   Me: Jackie - do you have a poop? Dr No: NO!!   Me: You smell.. I think you have a poop. Let me check. Dr No: NO!! (And so begins a chase around the Hobbit House to corral the elusive and agile Dr NO so that I can check his diaper [he did have a poop])   Two year-old "NO's" are really endearing and sometimes very exhausting, but what comes along with the endless stream of "NO's!!!" is magical beyond words. Sharing (a lot of) my food with him, letting him sit on my stomach while I try to lay on the couch, a daily exploration of my "Boo Boo's" (cuts on my arms and legs), joyful laughter, and miraculous - spectacular cuddles... and - Jesus Fucking Christ - a tidal wave of cuteness..    If a toddler comes, carrying a suitcase full of NO!, to live with you, I wish for you to relish the wonder and mystery of living with a tiny, adorable, super-villain..        ~
