Polite words

Yesterday I could not believe that these words were spoken by my children.

I was sweeping the floor and Allie said, "Mom let me help you sweep."  At breakfast time both Katie and Allie said, "Mom can you please get me a spoon?"  I was getting dressed to shovel the driveway and Allie said, "Mom can I help you shovel the driveway?"  At suppertime Katie said, "Mom I will set the table for you."  And at bedtime I only had to tell them one time to take a bath.

I love my polite children and I hope this phase continues for a very long time!
