Simon, at 20 months, has lots to say. For the longest time, he would ever so sweetly say "thank you" whenever you gave him something. Recently, for reasons that I can't figure out, he stopped saying "thank-you" when given something and instead says, "there you go mom". I often say to him "there you go" so that is no surprise, but adding the "mom" on the end is a mystery. So I have been telling him that he should say, "thank you dad". I guess he must be trying to incorporate at least some of my suggestions, as this morning when I gave him his bottle he said "thank you mom dad". Close enough.
