Negotiate

One afternoon, I decided to treat Ash with some mini peanut butter cups. (They are like reese but really tiny like the size of an m&m.)

"Baby, guess what Mommy have?" I asked as I hid 3 mini peanut butter cups in my hand behind my back.

"What? Mommy? Is it... CHOCOLATE?" she said with a really big grin.

"YUP!" As I held out my hand to give her the three pieces.

A few minutes later, she came up to me and said, "Mommy, more!"

"Honey, you've had 3 already."

"PLEASEEEEEEEEE, more!"

"Ok, you can have one more."

"No, one, two, three more!"

"No, just one."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, three!"

I stood there looking at her trying to decide what to do.

Suddenly, she had on a really sneaky grin ...

"Ok, Mommy, two more."

I laughed out loud. "One?"

"Two, Mommy. Not one."
