Even before Landry could talk, we encouraged her to use manners. She would sign please and thank you, or sorry, etc. Now that she does talk, we tell her to ask politely when she wants something, we remind her to say yes mam, yes sir, as well as a plethora of other things.
Recently, Landry has been trying to enforce manners on us. If she gives us something, she says, "What do you say to me." Of course we respond with "Thank You" and she gives the appropriate "you're welcome". Another thing she's doing is saying "yes" instead of "yeah". Now I know some people enforce this with their kids, but it has never been a big deal to us. I'm not sure where she's getting it, but she is talking very properly. Also, when I say something that she doesn't want to hear, she tells me, "Excuse me! Excuse me! Wait!" Yikes, that one has backfired on me. Anyway, it's really funny watching her learn what is socially acceptable and well-mannered. Hopefully, the things we are teaching her will pay off in the long run.
Now on to Eli. Eli hates all table food except for carbs. He could eat a whole loaf of bread in one sitting, I believe. But offer him a vegetable, it comes right back out. The funny thing is the usually spits the moment it touches his lips. Just a couple of days ago I offered him a bite of soup. You'll see what happens in the video.
The first part of the video is Landry saying "yes" It's very short, but you can still hear what she sounds like. It's kind of funny. The second part is Eli doing is thing. It's hilarious!
