Just ask nicer.

Ella and Paxton are playing nicely in the front living room and I am nursing Shepherd in the family room. I hear the following and a conversation ensues:

Paxton: Ella, you should go ask mom if we can color!

Ella: Okay! (running to me) Mom, can we just color now?

Mom: No, not right now, honey.

Ella: (running back to Paxton) Paxton, her just said 'no'.

Paxton: You just have to ask NICELY Boo-Boo. You just have to say PLEASE.

Ella: Okay! (running to me again) Mom, can we PLEASE color now?

Mom: No, not right now, honey. But maybe tonight, okay?

Ella: Okay! (running back to Paxton) Paxton! Her just said 'maybe tonight'!

Paxton: Okay.

Nice playing resumes.
