"I don't have a drink, waa"................"May I please have a drink?"
"I can't find the toy waa"........................"Can you please help me?"
"I don't have a snack waa!"..............."May I please have a snack?"
"Harry STOP IT, NO waa" ...."Can you please make Harry stop?"
I decided to make a Happy/Grumpy Button. Basically every time she asks me a question/whines for something, I'm going to pull out the button. If she has not asked politely, she will be shown the Grumpy face and be allowed to ask her question again, using her happy face. Hopefully after a few days she will only get the happy faces.
Find two random pieces of paper
Trace and cut our circles in you size preference
Draw your Happy and Grumpy faces
Sandwich an old magnet piece in between
Cover with clear packing tape on both sides and trim
VOILA! Your done!
Wishing you a peaceful home,

LOVE this idea. I'm totally going to try it. Thanks!
What a cleverly awesome idea! I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing drama these days. I swear, Amelia has the Academy Award worthy pitiful cry down to an art...and at least once every 15 minutes I find myself asking her to reword her demands into a nicely asked question. Of course...she has a way of saying "may I ___" and still sounding disgruntled!!
Super cute idea!
My 3 year old is the same....freaks out if things don't happen in milliseconds...I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea!!
