So before I start with this post... what does that phrase mean anyway?? "Mind your p's and q's"??? Who came up with that anyway?? Ok, back to posting....
So, I forgot to write this in my last post, and I was thinking of putting this in my "Wise sayings" section, but I thought it needed more explaining then I would want to put there... so, on the way down to visit family this last weekend, we were bringing down a computer. In the car, the computer was within reach of Bug's feet. He likes to kick it and make noise that way, and I was worried about that. Almost right after he realized that he could kick it, I turned around, looked him in the eyes and asked, "Please don't do that Bug." He stopped (much to the shock of his mom...) and put his foot that he was kicking with on the other knee to rest it away from the computer. I said "Thank you!" and gave him a big smile. He once again shocked me by replying "Your welcome". It still kind of sounds mummbled, but once again, this is one of the things that we understand each other, but not many would understand too.
We have been trying to teach him to "use [his] p's and q's" (whatever that means....), but it was still quite shocking for him to say "Your welcome" right after I said "Thank you" quite in context WITHOUT prompting. I'm not trying to brag, but I just thought it was quite shocking. When you realize that your kids are really listening to what you are saying and trying to teach, it is quite an amazing feeling.

I agree. Those moments make it all seem worth it! And it's good to write them down.
p.s. you have every right to brag about that cute little boy!
That's really cool. :)
I remember when my brother was little, my sisters and I were the only ones who really understood what he wanted when he spoke or did things. hehehehe, it made my grandmother furious. :)
