Ok, I know there are a ton of these cute stories, but this one made me cry. And those who know me well also know that I don't cry very easy!
This is the scene: Jake just woke up from his nap begging for a hot dog. Not quite sure why, because it's been literally months since he's had one... So, I tell him, sure he can have a hot dog. Thanks goodness for frozen corndogs right? So I sit him down in his high chair with his hot dog and some strawberries in front of the TV. Meanwhile I start to do some dishes. Well after a short while, he stops eating, stops watching TV, and calmly says
"Mah-ee? Mah-ee?" (that's Jake for Mommy)
"Yes, Jake?" I respond.
"Teht too!" (thank you) He says with a really sweet smile. And then promply returns to eating and watching Dora.
I'm telling you, I about fell over. I mean who gets delayed gratitude from a 19 month old? Who?! I mean to stop and think about it and then to tell me!? You can't get more than that, ever!
What a great kid... :)

A-DOR-A-BLE! It's amazing when they start to grasp the concepts of please and thank you! I tell you, having a polite kid is not just about manners...it does totally make your heart melt! It's like they are a 'bigger' person than you really want to accept!!! He's growing so fast, Joy!
