Nice words and new words

For all of his temper tantrums and love of burping, Seth catches on to all the polite words. His thank yous are consistent, and he’s very prompt with an I’m sorry (as long as it was an accident. Doing things on purpose means we have to coax the I’m sorry out.)

He recently started using the word “May” instead of “can”. For some reason this makes me think of Elmo, who Seth watches. It’s not a word I’ve pushed on the children. He hasn’t quite caught on to the right usage but gives it his own twist. Example: “May you help me wash my hands?”

He’s fond of “actually” which he uses correctly. He used “obviously” the other day in the middle of a thought. It didn’t make any sense which made it that much cuter.

My favorite Seffieism: “This toy doesn’t understand me!”
