Thanks!
I like to think Zoe is a fairly well-mannered girl; she needs occasional reminders, but she’s pretty good at saying “thank you.” What I love the most, though, is when her expressions of gratitude come out of nowhere. She’ll often thank me for taking her somewhere earlier that day (“Thank you for taking me to the zoo,” I heard recently), and she has started to thank me for making certain foods at dinner (when, of course, she likes them). And the other afternoon, I walked in the door and was greeted with a “Thank you for coming home, Mommy!” Believe me – with a “hello” like that, there’s no place I would rather be!
