Trying to teach a two year old a sense of manners is quite the chore.
She does great most of the time, although she seems to be going through quite the bossy phase already--I thought that didn't hit until at least age seven? Maybe not. The eye rolling and impatient sighs are probably also a sign of premature adolescence.
Anyway, her new favorite line is "Mommy, I be wight back. STAY!" I have pointed out many times that this is rude, and could she at least add a 'please' after the obnoxiously loud STAY? *Eye roll, impatient sigh* "Okay, Mommy. STAY. PWEASE."
And then there are the times, like this afternoon, where she just misses the mark completely. For example, we were outside enjoying the warm weather, washing my car. Zoey came charging at me, wanting to get past me and hopefully gain complete access to the hose, and as she was pushing me aside she was saying "Sorry, Mommy. Sorry. Sorry." (Or, "saw-ee".)
Um, do you maybe mean 'excuse me'?
*Eye roll. Impatient sigh*
"Okay, Mommy. 'Scuse me! 'Scuse me! Mommy! SCOOT!"
