"Please"

Now, Sanjiv is in interesting stage. He is exploring the world and learning to understand all kinds of emotions. By self learning, he learnt that by shedding few drops of tears he can easily get things done in his way. If tears doesn't help, then crying loudly will definitely work. Murali just don't like this habit(he thinks one person with this habit is enough and that one is me. Everytime I succeed in Stage 1 'tears' itself.)...He concluded that as I am too grown up he can't change me but it is easy to change little baby.
So, every time Sanjiv tried this trick on him, he was stubborn enough to say 'No' . He should have stopped there. But he went one step ahead and said, if you want something then say 'Please' and thats where it backfired.
In a week or so, Sanjiv learnt that crying is not going to work on his father and even on me. But he still tries his luck on his granny and she give up easily. Now, the difficult part is, if he wants something then he keeps an innocent face and say 'Pleeease'. He does this not only when he wants something from us but also with his age group kids in playground. We usually give off when he says 'please' but the kids, no way. so, he gets angry on them.So,now we are trying to make him to share his toys and play together.
What is back firing on my hubby is, Sanjiv says please even if he wants my hubby's company laptop. And Murali has to give in as this is something he has taught him. He has tough time getting it back safely. All the best dear hubby.
