the negotiator

I forgot to mention Finn's new skill in the last post. Or it's a skill that he's working to perfect, anyway. We're trying to get him interested in the potty with the use of M&M's. Naturally, he thinks that he should get M&M's regardless of whether or not he uses the potty.

Finn (holding up the timer): It's time for a BLUE M&M.

Me: No, it's not quite time yet. You haven't even used the potty yet.

F: (folding hands in front of him) Ok, just 10 orange M&M's.

Me: No M&M's yet, Finn.

F: Ok, just one green one and one orange one.

Me: (silence)

F: Ok, just two green ones.

He's nothing if not persistent.
