Noah understands what "no" means. You say "no" and he immediately, temporarily stops what he was doing.
The other day we went looking for Noah (he has a tendency to run to other rooms and get quiet, which is when you really worry). Noah loves to play with our oven (you see? really worry!!) He likes to click on the electrically light button that sparks so you can light the gas stove top. He runs over there and pushes it and listens to it click. We tell him "no" and swat him, he repeats, we swat him harder, he repeats, blah, blah, blah ....vicious cycle.
Well we heard in the kitchen...
CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK (Noah playing with the oven)
Then we hear...
NO! NO! NO! NO! (Noah telling himself that it is wrong)
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
Finally when we walk in there, Noah looks up and immediately drops his arms down to his side and walks away like nothing just happened.
My son is living proof of the doctrine of original sin.

Oh Noah! Playing with fire, seems like something your father might have done back in college, or that might actually have been his roommates. I am sure they can teach you a thing or two.
See this is proof that men are born with the need to provide for their families, the drive for fire and sharp things are ingrained in us.
POPS
