Zoe said 'please' today - well, 'apeese' as she says it. Before today she would just look at me and blink - "and why would I need to say THAT?"
More shocking, as they happened within 10 minutes of one another, Liam asked "Please may I be excused?," unprompted, after eating a good dinner (2 cobs of corn and some chicken pie).
Wonders never cease.
