A few days ago Graham had been eating his morning snack. Sometimes he asks for more and I always tell him that he needs to say 'please', which he will then say before he gets anymore. This particular day he wanted some more crackers, but it was a later snack. I told him no we were going to wait because it was close to lunchtime. Well...Graham looks up at me with his big brown eyes and for the first time without being prompted said...'PEEASE' (he doesn't use the 'l' sound). Well, needless to say he was given one more cracker just because I couldn't resist and because I was so proud of him for saying please without being told to!!
Yesterday at lunch Graham was done eating. We usually feed him using these older plates that we have, but they are breakable. Well, he started to push the plate off of his tray and I loudly said 'NO!!!'. But, it was too late. The plate fell and broke. I cleaned it up and then went to get Graham out of his chair. I told him he needed to say that he was sorry for breaking the plate. He hasn't said sorry yet, he hasn't really accomplished the 's' sound. However, he could tell I was not very happy with him. So, he made a lip smacking noise (his kissing noise) and leaned forward and kissed me! I guess that was his 'sorry'!! I couldn't be too upset after that!
This morning Graham was going downstairs. I told him that I would be down in a minute and then said..'I love you!' and blew him a kiss. He smiled, looked back up at me and blew a kiss right back to me! Then he proceeded downstairs to play until I could join him!
