Confucious Say......

I think we are confusing the poor girl. Ralph and I think it is extremely important to be polite. Sylvie has said some form of ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ since before she was one year old. Ralph has been trying to step it up for awhile. He wants her to ask for things not only politely, but in a sentence. He enforces (barely) this rule at dinner time. When she is done eating and we have forced her sufficiently to eat enough (again, barely), she must ask to be excused. This is a highlight of my night. It goes like this:

Sylvie: Iiiiiiiiim done (she is a whiner. That is my next project- get her to stop whining!)
Ralph: what do you say?
Sylvie: (big smiles and laughs)
Ralph: Are you ready to be excused?
Sylvie: yes. I want to go play.
Ralph: Sylvie- say ‘may I please’
Sylvie: may I please
Ralph: ‘be excused’
Sylvie: scuse me!
Ralph: now say it in a sentence
Sylvie: ina sentence

Nooooot reeeeally what he is going for. But it’s too cute so we let her go. I think it is becoming a problem though- because I catch her saying please follow by ‘ina sentence’ when she wants something.

Whoops.

This girl is so hard to take pictures of now that she is constantly moving. I think I got some goods one's recently.

Gross


On bath nights I let Wade go hog wild with his dinner. He is certainly a messy eater.
