Disappointed at 3 1/2

I had about five conversations with Ava today that were all a version of this:

Ava: Can Ava have a popcicle?
Me: No, would you like an apple?
Ava: Can Ava have a lollypop?
Me: No, would you like some turkey?
Ava: Can Ava have cheetos?
Me: No, you need to eat something healthy.
Ava: Can Ava have chocolate milk?
Me: You can have an apple or some carrots.
Ava: Umm, how bout Ava has some popcicles?


Oh, the little looks of disappointment that flash over Ava's face when she doesn’t get what she wants... such a mixture of anger, frustration, and hope all mixed together and served as cute!
