What's so appealing about 'No'?

What's with this 'No' stage? Everything is No this and No that...No No No No NO! Even things she wants to do she says no to first and then yes. Crazy kid. Her sentences are coming along as well as her numbers 1-10. She usually skips 5, but I figured 9 out of 10 is still an A.
She's growing into a toddler more and more every day. The way she runs around, sits indian style while she colors, everything she does is just so darn cute (except for the No thing). She can now climb a ladder to go down her slide, is more independent with every day activities, like going to get her spoon out of the drawer for supper time, and makes many of her own choices now (Cheerios or Apple Jacks?). If I could freeze time, I'd hit pause right now. She's just a load of fun to be around and every day brings a new adventure for her.
This weekend she was with Mom down at the Loverinks for a rummage sale. In the mean time Dad cleaned out the garage and found that it does indeed have a floor. But he missed his girls and was glad to have them home on Saturday. Last weekend she was down in AL for uncle Derek's coming home party. It was nice to see the kid made it through basic training and that he actually learned something while he was there (trust me, I know first hand). So she's logged a few hours in the car, which seems to be helping with her whininess on long car rides.
In case you're wondering where the pictures are - we don't have any. Turns out the camera went bust on the Jellystone trip and now we're down a camera. That will change soon and we'll soon have pictures of Leah picking out here pumpkin at the pumpkin patch and helping rake leaves (ok, so I won't rake leaves, but it makes for a lovely picture).
