From the mouth of Children - Thanks

My wife is incredibly patient and consistent with teaching Joshua manners. Thank you and please are two big things that we want Joshua to learn so we try to always make sure he says them appropriately when he would like something or has received something.

A few days ago Joshua was offering me some of his food (I can't remember what it was). I wanted him to eat it and wasn't particularly hungry at the time so the conversation went like this:

Joshua: "Daddy, do you want some of this?"

Daddy: "No thank you, you can eat it."

Joshua: "Daddy, say, 'Yes, Please'"

As were driving home from Southern Illinios this weekend we had another fun conversation...

Joshua: "Daddy, will you read this book to me."

Daddy: "I can't read it to you right now. I am helping mama with directions" (as we were driving)

Joshua: "Daddy, say, 'Yes, I'll read it to you'"

Smart Boy!
