Honestly, I think that is more important than voicing pleasure. A smile or happy look can indicate pleasure. But the ability to speak of for oneself when one is unhappy is a fantastic skill to have! Even if it is demanding. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Yeah for Micah!<BR/><BR/>And you are so right.

Seriously, it is super that Micah's speech is progressing so well. AS for teaching him to speak politely . . . I guess you just need to remind him when he says stuff about the polite way to say things.

In our house “Mama” isn’t so much a term of endearment as shorthand for “Woman, get your behind over here and SERVE me!”. And his other words tend to be used as demands too.
