New words

Mary Elizabeth has started to say "thankyou" everytime she is done with something and wants you to take it. Sometimes this is when she has finished her milk and she hands you the cup, but sometimes if I put something on her plate that she doesn't want to eat she picks it up and hands it to me and says "thank you". It is too funny! She has also stared to say "dadee" and "momma" and point to us. It's like she knew the words and she knew us, but she just put 2 and 2 together. The word "no" is big right now. Anytime she doesn't want something, wants us to stop doing something (ie- combing hair), etc., we get a firm NO. She is really turning into her own person. I just hope we get a happy medium between the NO girl and the "thank you" girl!

I love it! Good old southern manners. And an assertive woman, to boot! You may have your work cut out for you.
