Wellsy's World

I know that kids learn by copying their parents but Lucie has taken this literally. Me and Wellsy are trying to encourage Lucie to say “please” and “thank you”, it was all going really well until one day Lucie forgot and I said “what do you say?” Lucie’s response was “what do you say?, please, thank you, good girl”. The look of confusion on her face when we started to laugh was priceless.

She now uses commonly used phrases to tell both of us what to do, for example as soon as we get through the door “coat off, shoes off”. It’s funny but I think it’s supposed to be us telling her what to do not the other way round but never mind, she’s even started giving guests instructions or when we go to people’s houses she tells us what to do.

A classic example was when we went up to Wellsy’s parents’ house at the weekend as soon as we got through the door she started telling us to take coats and shoes off, then told Wellsy “careful daddy” when he helping to move furniture. She then told Gail that she was drawing something wrong, “no nana like this ok?”.
