I made Mommy real happy!!

Brandon definitely knows to use "please" and "thank you" when he asks for things. But like all 2 year olds he is in a bit of a bossy phase. So we are often saying "If you ask nicely..." or "You have to ask nicely first..." Well it much be sinking in - thankfully - because today after his nap he came up to me in the kitchen and said "I'd like to have some juice please Mommy." I was so excited I knelt down and hugged him and said "Thank you for asking nicely Brandon! I'll get you some juice now. You made me so happy!" Ten minutes later Joby arrived home and Brandon, in his usual fashion, ran to the door to see him. This time he announced "I made Mommy real happy! I asked real nice." Joby, of course, rewarded him with big hugs and kisses. It was so sweet.
