We are working on "May I please have..." And every now and then, the heavens will part, the angels will sing, and F or G will say something like, "May I have more juice please?"
However, more times than not, this is a typical scene in our house... (Be sure to watch both parts to get the full impact):

I swear the guy who does these videos has a sixth sense into our lives! He even knows that we realistically think that we can try to logically reason with a two-year-old!!!
In general, on weekday mornings, G will wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed with a big smile on her face, ready to take on her day. When I walk into their room, she is typically singing a song or reading a book to her "baby" (a stuffed Charlie Brown doll that I bought for my husband last Christmas because he is a big Peanuts fan, but G has decided to adopt as her own).
F, on the other hand, needs a little more time to ease into his day. He likes to take an extra 10-15 minutes to cuddle deep into his blankets, suck his thumb and hug his pillow.
This particular morning, he was being extra slow getting out of bed, so I carried him out of his room and he collapsed on the carpet in the hall before the bath. In desparation, I said to him, "OK, F, you throw a fit and I'll be back fir you in five minutes."
I proceeded to get G dressed and about 10 minutes later, I said to F, "Are you ready to go potty now?"
He replied, "No! I'm still throwing a fit!"
Good thing that I remember this face too...(at one of the last outdoor concerts of the season).
