politenesses and social integration

In the last few weeks Havana has been increasingly engaging in politenesses. for a couple of weeks everytime we tried to get her to say "thankyou" by coaxing her with the word "thankyou" she kept saying "your welcome". then she got it. Now its "thank you daddy" for this, "thank you mommy" for that. Its a bit sickening, well, you know nice.
Karen as Havana's primary care giver has helped Havana become this fairly secure little human being, to which I am ever grateful.
So yesterday we had a surreal experience. We're out having breakfast. Karen on one side of the table, Havana high-chaired in the middle and me on the other side. Lil' H motions to karen with one arm, Karen leans in, Havana puts her arm over Karens shoulder and then does the same for me. Then she says, "I love you
big guys!"
It was pretty stunning. Anyway, it was probably the best moment of my life in just a short second. Now I'm getting sickening
