"Mommy, may I be excused from the table?"
"No, you need to eat a few more bites."
"How many?"
"Uh, how about, 7?"
"No, I'm going to eat 10!"

A., at age 2.5, is in that magical phase of desperately trying to express her wishes through any means and especially through, um, volume. There was some great disappointment for her yesterday and she wouldn't stop wailing. I guess her sadness was too much for L. to bear because after a few moments I heard her trying to soothe her, by commanding her:
A.: "Waaahhh!!"
L.: "A, giggle!"
A: "Waaahhh!"
L.: "Giggle, A., GIGGLE!! GIGGLE! A.: GIGGLE!!!!"
A.: "Tee hee hee!!"
L. & A: "Ha ha ha, hee hee!"
Wait a minute. That actually worked?
