my little negotiator

It is common for Jakob to ask for a snack before bedtime.  I know that sometimes he is actually hungry but most times there is an ulterior motive.  The motive is usually to delay bedtime.  Last night was different.  Here is the conversation we had as I was putting Jakob in his pajamas.

Jakob: "Mama I'm hungry."
Me: "What do you want to eat?"
Jakob: "Ummmmmmm???"
Me: "Do you want a graham cracker?"
Jakob: "No.  Too messy."
Me: "How about some cheese?"
Jakob: "No.  Too soft."
Me: "Some cereal?"
Jakob: "No.  Too many pieces."
Me: "The only thing that is left is a granola bar."
Jakob: "No.  Too big."
Me: "Jakob.  What do you want to eat?"
Jakob: "Ummm.  Candy?"

He ended up with some cheese.
