We've been working on using polite words in our family, like please, thank you, and you're welcome. Sometimes I think my girl is oblivious to these words, but then sometimes she surprises me when they come out unexpectedly....like during snack time, when she turned to me and said, "You're welcome for sharing with me!"
We went to the park last Thursday to feed the ducks. When we got there, and could hear all the quacking, Elise said, "Hello ducks!! QUACK! Hello!"
Then we sat down on the bench, and she and Daddy started throwing the bread. The ducks were VERY excited and came right over. They quack a lot when they are excited. Elise would throw some bread and watch them gobble it up, then she'd turn to me and excitedly say, "They are very hungry ducks, Mama!" She kept feeding them for a bit. Then I noticed she would throw a piece to a duck very close to her. She would lean down, and after the duck ate the piece, she would say, "You're welcome!" and get another piece. She turned to some new ducks and asked, "Are you ready for some food, ducks?" They'd be quacking, so she'd feed them and then say, "You're welcome ducks!" It was so incredibly cute!!! Of course we got video, but are having a hard time uploading them, so we'll do pictures instead. She LOVES her friends the ducks, and is so polite with them!
