"Thank You"

Ok, I have no pictures and no video for this post.  However, this is one of the coolest posts I have written in a while.  :)

Yesterday, I came home from work and started immediately playing and taking care of Kathryn.  James went to the grocery store to buy food for dinner, so I was cleaning up the kitchen and unloading the dishwasher.  Mini has a couple of drawers in the kitchen that she is allowed (aka not baby-proofed) to get into.  They consist of tupperware, dish cloths, and paper baggies.  Well, I'm unloading the dishwasher and come across a spatula.  Perfect for baby play, right?  So, I handed the rubber spatula to Mini, and she tells me, very nonchalantly, "thank you."  Holy crap.  I almost cried/peed my pants.  For all the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, godmothers, if you have a pulse (lol)...you know how I feel.  PROUDEST MOM MOMENT EVER.  James and I have never stressed the word thank you, or tried to have her repeat it to us.  Everytime she brings us something (which is often, come on she is a toddler), we always say "thank you".  But she was saying thank you and knowing what it meant...she actually understand the word and when to use it.  I'm still in awe.  I know that every mother thinks their child is the smartest most wonderful baby alive (and they should), but I really think mine is the smartest and most wonderful baby alive!  Ok that is enough bragging.  But seriously, she is great.  Ok I'll stop.  :)
