Sweet Nothings

This may be insignificant to some of you, but I'm rejoicing today! For the past couple of months, I have been persistently - and sometimes annoyingly - teaching Isaac the basic manners of "please and thank you." I'm determined to have well-mannered children, and I have hope after this morning's simple, yet large reward! Alas, my dogged effort seems to be reaping the harvest.

When handed his juice, my sweet son replied, "Thank you, Mommy." All by himself, without the typical promptings!

Good manners sound so lovely when they roll off the tongue of a small child.

Next project: "You're welcome!" and "My pleasure!"
