King Negotiator

Isaac: Mom, it my turn to choose a movie.
Me: No, Isaac - I already said that after this movie we would watch ONE Leap Frog and then be done.
Isaac: How 'bout one Leap Frog and one Dinosaur Train?
Me: How 'bout one Leap Frog and no more movies?
(repeat that exchange five or six times)
Me: How 'bout one Leap Frog or NO more movies?
Isaac: How 'bout one Leap Frog and one Dinosaur Train?
Me: How 'bout no more movies?
Isaac: Mommy, look, (he holds his hands out in front of him for emphasis) we need to watch one Leap Frog (extends right pointer finger), but there's still ONE MORE Dinosaur Train (extends left pointer finger, like the fact that he has TWO HANDS with pointer fingers somehow SEALS THE DEAL and ends the conversation on whether we need to watch TWO movies).
Me: So no more movies?
Isaac: How 'bout one more Dinosaur Train?

He KILLS me!  But I'm getting better at "labeling."  So instead of him being incredibly stubborn and hard-headed, he's a "good negotiator" (who most often loses, I might add -- though maybe not as often as I like to think because he sure doesn't give in any sooner as time wears on); and instead of Abby being "my child" (thanks, Dave) when she makes big messes, she's "incredibly creative, just like her Mom"!
