Teaching boundaries

i know our LO's are still little (Damien is about to be 8 months on the 24th) but I stared young with our older ones too. We use the word no sternly when he is doing something or grabbing something he shouldn't. We aren't big baby proofers, more of a teach boundaries and they'll learn to only grab what they are allowed to. Anyways today I was on the floor of my bedroom with Damien and the battery charger for the drill is beside my dresser(not plugged in) and he went for it. Every time I'd tell him no and turn him he's cry and flail (think full on toddler tantrum style on his belly) and then look at SO like he was going to help him. He kept going for it and eventually gave up and went back for a toy but I swear he is the most stubborn of all my children! 

Anyone have any funny stories of teaching different things to our Lo's?

    Evelyn seems to think NO is funny. She always climbs to the entertainment center and grabs for her dsds gaming books. As soon as i say now, she stops, looks at me and laughs hysterically!

    NO usually insights some laughter when I say it. If I yank something away, especially when he's sleepy, he does throw a fit. I have good video of him whining because I took a book away that he was chewing on. HA. 
    My DH is a little louder so he'll stop and stare. But half the time he goes back to getting into whatever.
    He loves to play with our DVR and sound bar. The worst is when he unplugs the power strip all that is attached to. >.<
    I've been saying no and grabbing his hand. I hope one day he'll get it. I hope...

    We're slowly getting it now. Some days he flat out ignores me and other days he stops and whines. He definitely knows the connection of the word/stern voice and what he is doing isn't what I want, but that doesn't mean he listens lol. I think we're in the "if I whine mom wont like it and will give in" phase even though he's so young. He does the whining whenever he isn't happy lol
