"Bu Yao! Bu Yao! Bu Yao!"

As Ashley's vocabulary increases, her all time favorite word is "Bu Yao" (No in Chinese). Everything you asks of her, her first response is "Bu Yao".

One night, Ashley woke up and vomited, and after clean up. Mommy tried hard to put her back to sleep.

"Ashley, do you want to go to sleep?"
"Bu Yao!"

"Well, do you want to eat some rice then?"
"Bu Yao!"

"How about some milk"
"ooooh, nai nai...." Ashley pointed to the bottle warmer, but without a definite answer.

"Do you want some oranges or grapes then" Mommy continued to try.
Ashley looked at Mommy, and you could see her little brain was working hard trying to figure out what oranges and grapes are. After a few seconds, "Bu Yao!"

"hmmm, do you want to go to the park and play?"
"oooooooh....." without any hesitations, Ashley walked to the front door, and pointed to the door, "#%^&*($&^)$#&$" I guessed that's a "Yes".

"Well, Ashley, look, it's very dark outside. We don't go outside to play in the dark. When it gets dark, it's time to sleep." Ashley looked at me and seemed to understand what I was saying. I picked her up and carried her to her bedroom and put her to sleep. She didn't even fight it.
