The older one never asks for anything in particular anymore unless it's a necessity but the little one still does. It works! Not sure if it's any good lesson for life but it works for now :) I do exactly what you describe with my girls.

And it's great knowing you can have anything you want even though you can't have everything you want--which I find to be true in my current situation.
