For what it's worth, Cam, I'm right there with ya. My son, who's four, tends to be that way as well. One of our books on parenting suggests saying something like, "I can't hear you unless you stop crying" or "I'll only listen if you use your big boy voice." We constantly try and remind him that he's a big boy and needs to talk like one, rather than just crying about things. The jury's still out on the effectiveness of that tactic, though.
