Rubbing off

After a long time of reminding Sierra to use her manners, it is so sweet to see her politeness come out without us even prompting. (of course this isn't perfect, we just went through a phase of a very rude "whaaat?" every time she didn't hear what we said)

She says "excuse me" when she needs to pass by someone. She says "thanks" almost every time you give/hand her something. She regularly asks who made a meal and says "Oh, thank you ______ for making this for me!! I love it!".

And the best part, is its rubbing off on Reid too!!! He also says "cuse me" when squeezing by or stepping over someone. He says "pease" when he really wants something and says "tank you" as he hands you something. Yay for good examples from big sister!!!

I have to end this with a bit of reality. The bad things are rubbing off just as quickly! Reid also yells "NOOO!" when he's mad, says "mine!" in a greedy voice, and slaps his legs out of frustration - all things he also learned from big sis.

We'll take the good with the bad! :)
