Our Polite Child

Noah started to say thank-you very early on and we are so proud of him.  Now he has started talking more and more, but he only will say 1-3 words at a time.  Today he came to me with a movie in his hand and said, "watch it."  I was so proud of him for saying that!  Then a little bit later on he came to me again with another DVD and his hands were very stick from a lollipop he was given for being a good boy.  I told him to go see Daddy because Mommy was busy with baby Landon.  Steven then cleaned Noah's face and hands then asked him if he wanted to watch the movie.  Noah says, "watch it."

Steven then says, "Can you say, 'please watch it'?"

Noah YELLS enthusiastically, "THANK YOU!"

"Can you say, 'please'?"

Noah YELLS, "THANK YOU!"

"Can you say, 'please watch it'?"

Noah YELLS once again, "THANK YOU!"



Steven and I were cracking up at this point because Noah has not started to say please yet.  He says thank you for everything and is extremely good about saying thank you, but please is a different story.  He will even say thank you for "your welcome" when he feels the need.  So after a couple more times of Steven repeating the same thing to Noah and only getting "thank you" out of him he gave in and put on the movie.

We are so proud of Noah for always using his manners, but hopefully we can get the word, "please" out of him soon!  He has started to say so many words the past few weeks!
