Please!!!

Yesterday I went over to my daughter's to babysit my little grandson until his dad got home.  On the way over I stopped at Starbucks, as I usually do, to buy my daughter and I each a coffee.  I walked in with my iced coffee and immediately the little guy wanted a drink.  He loves drinking through a straw.  Now on occasion I have let him have a drink, but only after I've finished my coffee and what's left in the cup is the melted ice.  But this was a full cup of iced latte so I told him he couldn't have any.  Immediately he started rubbing his chest doing sign language for "Please!" over and over again.  I felt so badly I couldn't give him a drink through my straw.  His next favorite thing is drinking from a regular water glass, so I got him a glass of water and held it for him to drink and at that point he forgot about my coffee.  But this grandma is still smiling at remembering how cute and how pathetic he looked signing "please."

P.S. One of my co-workers suggests my asking for a small cup and straw the next time I get iced drinks so he can have his own.  What a great idea!
