Oh Tay!

I've chronicled before my attempts at trying to teach my child some manners. He might not talk much, but baby sign language isn't that difficult, and I happily accept anything that remotely sounds like "please" (tee) or "thank you" (day-choo). (He's really good about thanking you for everything- "day-choo! day-choo!")

Lately though, I am wondering who is teaching who. With his conversational skills at a minimum he just comes and fetches me whenever he wants anything: turn on the TV, get him something to eat, etc. He comes running up to me and grabs my hand to lead me somewhere and I look at him and remind him gently, "Please", and he breaks into a big grin and says "Oh Tay!"

Then I am left wondering, did he just grant me permission to do his bidding? (The problem is, he's so cute about it, I can't argue)
