Mr. Manners & The Squash

After months (well years) of working with Shawn on his pleases, thank yous, your welcomes, and bless yous I think he might have a grasp on it. Tonight he showed me two wonderful examples of his new found or should I say newly expressed knowledge of these small but very important courtesies. "Shawn, will you please bring Mommy the burp cloth for Landon?" Before I could get the "Thank You" all the way out Shawn glances over at me with a grin... "Or E-come!" Not more than 10 minutes later he sneezed all over his flash cards (which he has been playing with for the past hour.) And once again, before I could even get the words out he blessed his sweet little self by saying "Bess Eww."

My little red-head had his first taste of one of the greatest food groups... vegetables! We decided to start with squash... and from the way it went, we might be ending with it too ;) This little one just isn't getting the hang of swallowing food. I thought maybe it was just rice cereal because looking at it is enough to gag even me. As Jon was feeding him this "foreign substance" that was obviously not suiting well he tells Landon "You can't live on bottles forever!" This kiddo is hilarious. Put something in the mouth and it gets pushed right back out. There is always tomorrow... and more squash ;)


As a little treat for Shawn's wonderful manners this evening Mommy let him stay up a little bit past his bedtime to work on a fall wreath craft.
