I lika mo pees
We’ve been working on good manners with Tiny and Buba for a while. Buba will walk around the house saying “Dadoo! Babakum! Dadoo! Babakum!” (his versions of thank you and you’re welcome) and laugh his little head off as if these are the funniest words in the whole universe. Tiny will say excuse me to Grammy’s cat if he happens to be in her way, but will run right over Buba while recklessly driving her riding toy through the house.
The one area where I think we’re making some serious progress, though, is with requests at mealtimes. When Tiny and Buba were first learning to talk, it was enough just to say more. Over time, we encouraged them to say more plus what they wanted more of (i.e. more milk, more noodles, etc.). But now, they know they have to add the please if they want me to comply. And it just melts my heart when Tiny turns to me with her toothy grin and says, “I lika mo pees, Mama.” (That’s I’d like more please.)
Yea for good manners huh? We started early also..your thank you and please are well typed out! I totally knew what you meant! 
I love it! Michael is starting to say more words now. He started to say key (cookie) and we have been able to teach him pees (please). Sometimes it seems like he says petpet pees (pretty please). I love listening to little kids talk.
That’s adorable! Melts my heart just thinking about it!
Baby A just attempted to say “pig” a couple of days ago. She learned the sign last week (one finger to the tip of the nose), and she did that while looking at a picture book and said, “pih”. On an unfortunately related note, learning the sign for pig made her realize she has nostrils. I laughed out loud today when I corrected her by saying “pig” NOT “pick”. HA!!!
