Apparently Nicholas has been taking lessons at the Uncle Patrick School of Negotiating Tactics.
We just finished dinner and he asked if he could play with his train. Sarah said, "yes, for 10 minutes." (It is, after all, almost time for bed.)
Nicholas replied, "No, 5 minutes!!"
"Sure!" we said in unison.
This comes on top of yesterday, when we offered him ten stickers for a successful potty trip, and he corrected us that he deserved two. So some skills we've still got a ways to go.
Hmm - need to help that boy figure out how to get MORE instead of less! (Abby negotiates UP for veggies, sometimes even on purpose!)
