Sounds like it was a good experience for your daughter to learn about limits and disappointment. It might help to talk to her before the sound and explain that if she hears it, it doesn't mean that she is getting ice cream. If she's already heard the sound, its too late for reason. A nanny show I saw on TV talked about that - "preparing" kids for bad news, so that they know the bad news is coming beforehand. This helps them emotionally prepare for the disappointment and can help avoid temper tantrums. I can’t stand the ice cream truck music now, but as a kid I did like to hear it coming.

Funny how doing something so fun and spontaneous like buying your kid ice cream can turn on you like that. We only have 1 truck here and TJ thinks it is "the music truck."

I can just picture her melancholy little face...I myself eat a sugar free popsicle almost every night in the summer :) But I haven't had to contend with Owen wanting ice cream yet!
