Over the past few weeks, Emma has learnt to negotiate. "Two more minutes, Mumma?" she'll beg. "Five more minutes, Mummy" and she'll hold up some random number of fingers to emphasize her point.
Tonight, she was "swimming" in the bath, and it was time to move on to stories. I told her, "Two more minutes, kiddo."
Negotiation time. She looked at me pleadingly and put on her cutest, most cajoling look. "One minute, Mumma, please? Pleeeeease, Mumma?" she begged, with a big toothy grin.
And because she asked so nicely, I happily changed her two more minutes to one more minute.

Toddler negotiations are so much more fun than Toddler tantrums. Although, sometimes one turns into another. Ruwani
