Kenny isn't very shy about asserting himself these days.

First thing in the morning? "Want milk and toys."

With the dog? "No, Sadie! Sit. Get into bed."

During potty breaks? "No potty! Want to hold Thomas/Percy/Lightning McQueen!"

In the car? "No, Mommy! No singing!"

The last one is my favorite. The other day, Overboard started singing along to the music in the car and Kenny quickly (and loudly) disapproved. Overboard was caught a bit off guard and grew shamefully silent. Then she decided to try and start signing along, but quietly under her breath. I started to laugh and commented that she was totally afraid of being yelled at again by the tiny Simon Cowell in the backseat. Overboard turned red and shook her head in agreement.

It will continue to be a source of amusement for me until the day I hear, "Daddy! No singing."
