Please Dada

Alisa loves to look at the books I'm reading. She comes over and tries to take them from my hand. Yesterday when she grabbed at my book, I said "Mommy's reading the book...but if you say please I will let you look at it". She immediately said please (sounded like peas) so I handed it to her and she pretended to read it.

Later in the day she was kicking and pushing an empty box down the stairs. She had one of us throw the box back up to the landing she was on so she could do it again. I asked her to say please and she said, "Please, dada" because he was the one at the bottom of the stairs at that time. It was so precious.
