Gratitude

Background 1
Our normal bed-time routine for the girls is as follows -

1. jammies time
   
2. brush teeth
3. story time in Dora chairs
4. hugs and kisses
5. pray time

Background 2
We are in the middle of a manners campaign - Pushing the girls to: ask nicely for things in full sentences, say "Excuse me" after bodily noises, be quick with thank you's when they're appropriate, etc.


A couple nights ago during hugs and kisses, right at the last big squeeze of her and me hugging, little Miss Ellie tooted. Funny, regardless of the situation, but manners are manners. So I said, "Ellie, you tooted. What do you say?"

Ellie: "Thank you."
