Answers:
I learned the most wonderful trick last week on how to cut back on the "No's" with my twins, 2 also.

Give them a choice.
Instead of asking: "Will you please pick up your toys?"
Ask: "Do you want to pick up the blocks or the trucks?"
Ask:" Do you want milk or juice?"
Ask: "Do you want to sleep with the red blanket or the blue blanket?" (instead of saying 'it's bed time).
And they actually choose one and do it!
It's a miracle!

Be very specific. Doing this teaches them to be more independent. And they enjoy feeling like they have a little control in their little lives.
Since I started applying this tactic I hear "no!" like maybe 10 times a day instead of 50!
They are still doing what they are told this way and are happy to do it!
Is she two? try to ignore her there is not much you can do
