Thank OOO

Troy now says “thank you” in addition to dada, mama, uh-oh, book, and baybay. Although it comes out more like “thank ooo,” it definitely sounds like what he’s trying to say. He again uses it in the correct context. For example, he’ll point at the Yogi bag and scream, “DADAAAA!?” I’ll reply, “Yes, baby?” To which he’ll more calmly point at the bag one more time, now that he has my proper attention, and say, “dada?” I’ll give him one of the dehydrated yogurt snacks, and he’ll say, “thank ooo.”

He’s so polite, our little boy. Every time you give him something now, he says, “thank ooo.” Actually, if he gives you something he’ll say it too, presumably on your behalf, in case you’re not as polite as him. I’ve been saying “welcome” to him after he says thank you, so he associates the two together. Which he sort of does, although not how I intended. If I say “welcome,” then he replies back, “thank ooo” again. We’ll keep working on it.
