practice politeness

We are focusing on Madeline's ability to speak to others politely this week. She has always been great at please and thank you but now we have added "may i have a turn" and "no thank you" (when someone wants to touch or share with her etc). She is learning to excuse herself from the table at meals and has been taking her plate and cup to the sink for a few weeks now. It is great to watch her progress. We are just encouraging her to use her words whenever she can instead of whining or grabbing. So even when she uses the less "polite" version we are thrilled.
Ie: "Daddy come here....run!"


Of course its not all work and courtesy here. we have found lots of time for fun stuff too!

Don wanted us to make sure we got a video of her adorable running with the little chicken wings. she has always run like this and we dont want you to miss it!
