Graham has really mastered the ability to say yes or no in response to questions. It started out as just a response- "Do you want a cookie?' was answered with a no, when , come on folks, he really meant yes. But no more. For the most part, he understands yes and no and uses them correctly. This makes life much easier when he is upset or wanting something. To be able to offer him a drink or a toy and know that was what the trouble was is much easier than trying 50 things first. The head nodding and shaking is quite deliberate and emphatic. No mistaking, when he says no, he means no. And if you don't heed the answer, then you get a tantrum or screaming.
This can be part of his "best pest" role as well. When he takes something of the girls and they yell, "give it back, Graham!" He shakes his head no and runs away cackling and terrorizing the house. Yes, it can be a good thing and a badthing, or at least a naughty thing.
