Ella (from the sandpit) - Do you want an icecream? 
Me - I'd love one! 
Ella - What kind do you want? 
Me - I want er... coffee! 
Ella - I don't have coffee 
Me - Do you have er... banana icecream? 
Ella - No, I have no banana. 
Me - So what flavours do you have? 
Ella - I have chocolate. 
Me - Why do you ask what kind I want when you only have chocolate anyway? 
Ella - Oh ok. I have berries, chocolate, strawberries... 
Me - Ok, I'll have chocolate after all. 
Ella - Here you go. It's a baby icecream because you are the baby. You are the baby and I am the mummy. 
Me - (lick, lick, lick) 
Can I have another one? 
Ella - No, you can only have one. 
Me - Waaa, waaaa! I want another one! Waaa! Waaa! 
Ella - Ok baby, you can have another one. 
Me - Maybe babies need to learn that they cannot have everything they want? 
Ella - Oh. Baby you cannot have another one. 
Me - Waaa, waaa, waaaa! 
Ella - Oh baby, do you want a cuddle?

Gorgeous, Lin. What a great lesson and a great problem solver Ella is, offering baby a cuddle instead.
