Two year old problem solving

This morning, Charlie walked away from the breakfast table with a pancake.  I told him that he needed to get back up in his chair and finish eating.  He said “no” (he is really embracing this two year old thing).  I asked him if he was done and he said “no.”  I said “okay, then you need to get back in your chair and finish.”  He said “no.”  I mustered my most authoritative voice, got down on his level and said “Charlie, your options are to get back in your chair and finish your pancake, or be done.”  Charlie came up with a third option – without breaking eye contact, he slowly (pointedly, even) stuffed the entire pancake in his mouth and said “all done.”
