Mister Manners...

This is how the almost 2 year old conversation went this morning...

Me: "Good morning Buddy. Would you like some milk and a snack?"

Jimmy: "Yup."

I went to the kitchen and got a fresh milk cup and some Nilla Wafers. I came back into the bedroom where my adorable son was watching Handy Manny and awaiting his goods patiently and handed them to him.

Jimmy: "Thank you Mommy."

Me: "Your welcome Buddy."

This Mister Manners act has been going on for about a week now. Every single thing that you do for, give to, or acknowledge with Jimmy is followed by a prompt and direct "Thank You Mommy/Daddy."

And we LOVE it!

He is so interactive and interested in the world around him it amazes me! He truly studies the way we communicate with each other and mocks it.

I am loving this new phase of his and look forward to each day to see what he will learn next!

It is an exciting life here at the Grebe house!

Many firsts...

It seems that every single day lately we have been experiencing "firsts" in Jimmy's life. From first movies to first pee in the potty, they are just rolling along. Everyday seems to be more exciting then the last and we can't help but revel in each little or large first! He seems to grow and learn more and more every minute. We have certainly been entertained by our little man lately. He is very much a comedian and performer these days. He hears a song and he dances, he see the camera and he says cheese... very much the personality of both of us rolled into one. NOT always a good thing! LOL It seems that he is going to be pretty well rounded, he seems to have more of Jim's technical side, enjoying learning how to use tools and ride the quad. He also has a bit of my chattiness and he loves to read and do puzzles like I always did. He is loving everything and anything with a motor lately. He especially loves the Disney movie Cars right now. He asks to watch "race cars" as he calls it just about every day. Well, about time to get ready for bed... More later.
