Last night we were hanging out in the family room before dinner. My four-year-old wanted to get past her brother, and instead of her typical, "Daaaaa-viiiid!" she said, "Excuse me. Excuse me D, excuse me."
Jumping at the opportunity for some positive reinforcement, I said, "That was really using your good manners, C!"
To which she replied confidently, "I know."
Oooooooooooookay, then.

I love it. That’s great. At least she’s learning…
ha ha! The manners learning curve, it is steep and rocky! And humility? Some people NEVER learn it. Tee hee.
Hey, that will get her far in this world. Work it girl!!!!!
Is it a girl thing? My boys just shove past each other which usually ends up with someone falling over, occasionally its me. Manners…something a mother dreams of…we’re working on it, glad she’s getting it, sort of.
Hahaha! That’s wonderful! I love good manners, even if I sometimes forget to use them myself! 😉 lol
i love that, when a kid snaps back with “I know”… 🙂
LOVE it 🙂
My son just says without prompting how good his manners are. And they are, but really!!!???
Cute story.
Proud and confident! What more could you want in a child?
Hilarious!
(hey, since when did you start using your kiddos names? Did I miss something?)
