I find that I always have to remind Liam to say "please" and "thank you". Today, I had the food coop shift at childcare. It was a pretty easy day and the shift was done before we knew it. For once, Liam decided to stay at childcare while I did some shopping. Oh, happy day! After I was done with my care-free shopping and had creatively packed up all of my groceries, I went to pick him up. He was so ready to get out of there and so was I. As we walked over to our car, I talked to him about all the great food I bought for our sweet little family. After each and every item, he would give me a very enthusiastic "thank you!" So sweet!
Then, at home, Liam asked me for a cold drink. As I was pouring it, he said, "I'm going to say 'thank you', mama." I couldn't help but let out a little giggle. He looked at me, straight-faced, and asked, "What's the matter mama?" to which I said, "You make me so very happy." He gave me one of his sweetest smiles and then left with his drink in hand...without saying "thank you."
