Sophie and Nate

This was a picture from a previous post, but I forgot to take a picture when they were together 3 different times this week! Nate came over to play while Katie had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and then we ate at Toot's on Wednesday and Camino on Friday. Katie is having a girl by the way (if I didn't already post that information). So far Sophie is getting two new girl cousins in December.
Nate is such a good kid and so easy to watch. Sophie enjoys playing with him and he is just passive enough at this point to let Sophie get by with her aggressive behavior. We are trying really hard to teach her to share (which is pretty hard at this age). She is pretty territorial (especially at our house with "her" toys). So far we have been teaching her to say "please" when she wants something and "thank you" when someone gives something to her. This still doesn't solve the sharing problem because she doesn't really understand that just because you say please doesn't mean you get it or that it is an appropriate time. The funniest thing was when Sophie aggressively jerked something away from Nate and said so sweetly "Thank you Nate" (all on her own). It was so cute, but I still told her that she had to be nice and let Nate play with it a little longer. She is pretty good at knowing how to get what she wants:)
Another funny thing was when Katie and I decided to meet for mexican on Friday. I told Sophie we were going to eat "mexican" and she says "rice and beans" very excitedly. Then I asked her who we were going to eat lunch with and she says "Nate." Guess she has picked up on the fact that we meet Katie and Nate for lunch there about once a week:)
