10 Month Manipulator

Wright is constantly trying to crawl back into the room where the dog food and cat litter is. We have had to tell him a million times "No touch" and are constantly trying to enforce to him that that room is off limits. Of course, this only peaks his interest more. Today, we were going through one of our "battles of wills" and every time I would get really mad at him and use my scary mommy voice, he would sort of cry and then crawl over, lay his head on my lap and suck his thumb. Or a couple of times, he would crawl over and climb onto my lap to snuggle. Once I started to warm up to this sweet gesture, he would be off to try and get into room again. I can't believe this little 10 month is already trying to manipulate me to get his way. It was so darn cute, it almost worked too!
