Emma has found the art of negotiating. A typical conversation goes something like this:
Emma: Can I have another cookie?
Me: No, you've already had one.
Emma: Pweeeese!!!
Me: You're fine.
Emma: Just one more.
Me: No Emma.
Emma: That one be my last one.
Me: Still no Emma.
But recently she's has become more clever with her negotiating. Here are a series of her tactics.
Emma: Mommy, can I watch a movie?
Me: No, you've watched enough TV today.
Emma: If I watch a movie it will help with my diarrhea (she had a loose stool that morning...I know, TMI).
Emma: Can I have a marshmallow?
Me: You don't need a marshmallow.
Emma: If I have a marshmallow, I be healthier.
In response to me clapping,
Emma: Mommy why are you clapping?
Me: I'm clapping along with the song.
Emma: Stop it. The clapping is hurting my tummy.

That's so funny. We call it down here....controlling. That's what Alex is into nowadays, trying to take control of any situation or conversation. All learning, LOL!
