We've are constantly trying to reinforce manners with our kids. Sometimes it feels like it falls on deaf ears.
Lately we've been teaching Chicken to say "Please." We show him the sign for it as well as enunciating repeatedly.
He thinks he's got it figured out. When there's something he wants he'll stretch out his hand toward it, and with all the energy he can muster yells, "MMEEE!"
Other times he'll say, "Me Me Me!!!"
It's pretty cute. He gets whatever he wants when he does that. Though it might not be so cute or effective a few years from now....
Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....
