zen wednesday - manners

i have found zen this week in avery's little manners and it is about the cutest things i have ever seen.

we have been working on signs and she got really good at "please" because it is the word for practically any thing she wants.

thank you came next. we would play a game where every time she gave me something i would say "thank you" and do the sign. it took a while but now when she wants something, she says please and now after we give it to her she signs "thank you" and makes a noise like she is blowing a kiss.

just this week, (something we did not exactly teach her, or expect her to do) she says "your welcome." it sounds like "yum-come." i guess she heard us say it after so many thank yous that she decided to try it out.

i love it...


today she took off her shoes and threw them in the living room, said "yum-come" and walked out of the room. did she really think i wanted her shoes, or was she just being sassy?
