No.

But seriously... She's so much fun now but everything is a quick and stern "No". Sometimes I hit the jackpot and ask her something that she actually wants and it's "Yayeeeah".

Mines the same age, doing the same thing xD. She's looking for some control. I usually give her the illusion of control by giving her two options, don't want to get dressed? "Would you like to wear your yellow dress or your red dress today?" Same with food, works for me.

I'm gonna try that tomorrow. Especially with food. She has been a mess trying to get her to eat lately. She was a late walker, didn't start walking till 19 months and almost like a light switch once she started walking. Eating wasn't in the priority anymore. It's going wherever and doing whatever!

Yes, 100% its like "I have freedom now" I can walk! I can sorta express myself!
