Yes Ma'am!

Jeff and I are by nature polite people. We use please, thank you, excuse and the rest of those good manner words. Because kids are sponges, Sophie has picked up on using good manners and often uses the above mentioned phrases. One phrase in particular she has picked up on is the use of Sir and Ma'am.

Only, she can't remember which is which. Is is forever calling Jeff "Ma'am" and then asking him is Ma'am is for boys. And no matter how many times we remind her Ma'am is for girls and Sir is for boys- she will use Ma'am when talking to Jeff.

And secretly (or not so much) I laugh every time she does it!



In other news, this weekend Jeff and Sophie had a wonderful father daughter bonding experience. Jeff took Sophie fishing at the pond behind our house. With her little pink rod and her Barbie tackle box, her and Jeff set out to catch a few fish.

Either Sophie has beginners luck or she is just a natural because the first time she got her line in the water, she got a fish! All in all they caught 7 fish! They were out there way longer than I expected her attention span to handle.

I was so proud of her for not being afraid to touch the worms or the fish!
