Since Alison turned one, we have worked on teaching her how to say Please and Thank You every Monday night in Family Home Evening. I pull out mini marshmallows or chocolate chips, and we sing our please and thank you song. Then, Emmy and Daddy model for Alison how to say please for the treats and thank you when they get one. Alison figured out "ank u" a couple of months ago, and we were so excited for her. She said her first "plee" a couple of weeks ago. We continue to practice the game each week for Alison; it's her part of Family Home Evening. Emmy loves the game and the free treats.
Alison has figured out the power of please. If she sees anything she wants, she knows she can get it if she says "plee, plee". I'm just so happy that she has a way to let me know when she wants something. Yesterday, she said "ess u" for bless you after she sneezed. She said it again this morning. She surprises us all the time with new words. It is really exciting.
