Funny how little ones already know who's the "easy sell" of the parents. Tay has figured out a sweet way (already!!!) to try and get what she wants. There are certain things that I am pretty restrictive of when it's just Tay and me in the house (like when Jeff's away on business or something), so she normally doesn't ask me for these things...I just use them as special treats for her when she's been good all day or I just feel like giving her a treat (like ice cream or Dora or chocolate). I wouldn't say I'm totally restrictive, by any means, but I tend to ration a little more than Jeff. :)
Anyhow, when Daddy's home, she always goes to ask Daddy for these things that she really likes, but doesn't get on a regular basis as far as Mom's concerned. This is how the conversation goes, normally:
Tay: Appa, I want ice cream right now, please.
Appa: Right now? Did you ask your Mom?
Tay: Mommy's busy right now. I want ice cream, please.
Appa: We haven't had dinner yet. Ask your Mom.
Tay: Mommy's busy right now. I want ice cream right now, please.
Depending on Jeff's mood, she will end up with ice cream or she'll be distracted by something else. She's a persistent little bug. :) For a while, she would say, "I want *something* now" or "I want *something* right now," but I told her that wasn't polite and she needed to say "please," so now she adds "please" after her "right now." ::sigh:: Clever girl...:P
