'Gimmie"

NO! Don't start the demanding 'gimmie' phase.

Today Brandon came in the kitchen when I was cleaning and doing dishes. He asked for a snack and kind of squeezed in front of me. I had to dry my hands and he kept scooting around me saying, "gimmie, gimmie, gimmie".

I scolded him a bit saying, "No, you don't need to be demanding Brandon, please have patience." all while drying my hands and mazing around a two year old.

He kept saying. 'gimmie, gimmie'.

I was getting a little upset with this 'gimmie' thing.

I realized I needed to slow his 'gimmie' down only to realize he was saying 'Excuse Me' but it sounds like "gimmie".

I have to say for two years old his manners are really good. After I gave him a snack, he immediately said, "Thank you mommy." When he asks for something he always says 'please mommy'. When he has a little toot- he always says 'Gimmie' or rather 'excuse me'.

I am glad we haven't started the 'Gimmie' phase but rather 'Excuse me'
