Guess who’s now saying PUH-LEEEEZEEE!Safiyah is starting 2008 right by showcasing her use of manners. And I have to admit I’m quite proud. I don’t think there’s anything cuter than a little person with good manners.
I was so excited when one of the first words Safiyah said in context was “tank uuu”.
I’ve been working on please ever since, but without much success – until yesterday at bath time.
Safiyah LOVES WATER. Drinking it. . .playing in it. . .and combining the two by drinking water in the bath. It’s a disgusting habit that I strongly discourage of course, but Safi spends the entire bath time sneaking the ducky cup to her little lips.
After repeatedly reminding Safi of how GROSS it is to drink the very water she’s bathing in, I finally had to take the ducky cup away from her. And that’s when she said it.

Well, then I just had to give it to her, right?

Have a great 2008.
The best is yet to come.
Thanks Gustav! I'm amazed by this little person everyday. I ca only imagine what the year will bring!
Hi ksd
Thanks for commenting on my blog - I bumped into your profile while surfing blogspot for people who listed "To Kill a Mockingbird" as a favourite book. You also happened to be a fellow lawyer.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is also one of my favourite movies. Gregory Peck as Atticus is inspiring but his daughter Scout steals the show.
Safiya is well mannered and has a bit of her Mom's smile. You must be proud!
