He doesn’t have time for my nonsense.

Sarcasm begins at an early age. I know this because we are trying to teach Connor, nose, chin and ear. We point to our nose and say, “nose” and then point to his nose and say “nose”. So when I ask Connor where is Mommy’s nose, he takes my finger in his hands and points to my nose with it. It’s his way of saying, “Well, you wanted me to copy you exactly, right?”

Clapping is the same way. He takes my hands in his and claps them together. If I try to get him to clap and sit on my hands, hoping that he will make the leap of understanding and clap his own hands, he looks down at my hands and then back to me and then gets up and walks away. He doesn’t have time for my nonsense he has a cat to chase.
