Terrible Two's???

Yesterday Libby tested her limits with me. She has taken an interest in pulling at the fabric on her highchair. I wouldn't mind that much except that we'd like to keep it in nice shape and possibly reuse it with our next child. I told her "no, no" a few times and that didn't faze her. Then I moved her hand back to the tray and told her "no, no" again. That only made her give me a look that said "what are you going to do about it, Mom?" while pulling at her highchair at the same time. Telling her "no, no" then only made her want to keep pulling on her chair. Finally I had to give her a light slap on the back of her hand to get her attention. That worked for me! Lucky for me, she didn't know that if that hadn't worked, that I didn't have a backup plan! I really didn't think that at 9 months my sweet, cute little girl could have the ability to push her limits.
