He said it! Unprompted!

I have been teaching Gardner to say, "Thank you, Mommy" whenever I give him something, namely, food. He has been really good at repeating it when I prompt him to say it outloud.

Today at lunch, Ken brought in some Chik-fil-A to supplement our lunch (all we had in the house was fish sticks, which Gardner adores, but I just wasn't into today). I tore off half of my chicken strip and reached over to Gardner in his booster chair. "Here's some chicken for you," I said, not really thinking of prompting him this time since Ken, I, and David (a friend) were in conversation at the time. He looked up at me and said, "Tay-too, Mama!" and stuck it into his smiling mouth.

I stood there like a statue, amazed, all the while with Ken saying, "I heard it! He said it!"

I know this may seem trivial to most, but I just had to share this "first" of his today. I didn't want to forget it.
