Negotiation

The little one really knows how to get what he wants. He knows I go soft when he is well mannered and all, so will ask for stuff with extra emphasis on his pleases and thank yous.
 
Mama, can I have ice cream PLLEEEAAAASSSSEEEE? 

If that doesn't work, his next trick is to appeal to sharing with us. 

Mama, we share the ice cream ok? PLLLLEEEAAAAAASSSEEEEE?

And if that still doesn't work and he wants something that I have in hand.

Mama, I hold only. I hold the ice cream only. PPLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSEEEE?

If I do somehow succumb to letting him "hold only" and he is happily eating. This is what he says when I ask him to share with me. 

Mama, next time I buy for you ice cream ok? 

Then he happily runs off.
