Please and Thank you


Talk about a smile that can melt your heart. Nooshie is just the sweetest little boy. He is beginning to really appreciate having a baby in the house and now that she can sit on her own, he sits and includes her when he plays. He still doesn't understand "soft" play though. Just today he was playing with her face, like chubby bunny pushing her cheeks together as hard as he could and then would take his turn and do it to himself. He was laughing and laughing, KD began laughing back but only because she laughs with laughter, she really didn't appreciate the cheek pushing game.

I always thought that the number two was met with the word terrible in front of it. While he still has his moments, his manners are a welcome sight and always bring a smile to our faces.
Always remembering please and thank you, it is hard to ever say no. The other day he asked for a particular snack and we didn't have any left. He thought he forgot his manners, so he repeated his desire remembering to use his please and thank you with this request. It broke my heart to once again have to tell him that we would have to go to the store to get it. Surprisingly, there was no outburst, he just excitedly exclaimed his "Oh, Thank you!" and quickly ran to go get his coat.

Then Last night, he decided once again, that 4 am was an acceptable time to be awake. It is difficult to be upset when he is so polite. Honestly he probably continues to get up at this hour because he doesn't get in trouble for it. He asked me for a Peanut Butter sandwich, and normally at 4 I might mumble something not so nice, but because of his please and thank you I found myself downstairs spreading some peanut butter onto bread. I was joined by C in helping with some milk. We set him up in the playroom and he eventually went back to sleep. I'm not sure where this little boy came from, but he's a keeper!
