An everyday conversation

Me: Ok, Ella it's time for your nap. Go pick out one book for us to read together.

Ella: I'm going to pick out four books!

Me: How about two.

Ella: Reluctantly picks out two books.

  2. My personal favorite with numbers is telling them how many more bites to take... I say 4... then in their rebellion, they say 6....
    Me: "Oh, okay, you win, you can have 6 bites." :-)
