My big accomplishment for the last couple of weeks has been starting to teach Jacob his manners. For months, he has been signing "Please" whenever he wanted something. A couple months ago he added the word along with the sign and does it pretty consistently when he wants something. So the next challenge was getting him to say "Thank You". This week he has started saying "Thank You" without me having to ask him to say it. It is so refreshing to hear him ask please and then say thank you afterwards. I'm not sure he understands yet, but he will at some point! Until then, he sounds polite! ;-)
We went to a pumpkin patch at a local church today and looked at pumpkins. Jacob even picked one out, pointed to it and said "mommy". When I asked him if he picked out that pumpkin for me, he promptly answered "yes"!!!! Ohhhh, that melts my heart! Daddy is working a trauma shift today at the hospital, so hopefully we can go back tomorrow and pick a couple out as a family!
