You try to teach him. There are all those little lessons that are repeated every day but that at two you are pretty sure he's not getting. Saying please and thank you - he does say please but it is usually shouted repeatedly until he gets what he wants. We are working on thank you but it comes out as "Jew" so we will continue to work on it. So, you can imagine our shock and pride when we heard Jack in the bedroom shouting in frustration as he tried unsuccessfully to take his shoes off before climbing onto our bed. We always tell him, "no shoes on the bed" we just didn't really think he was listening. So I guess we'll keep working at it, all those little lessons, and hope that like the no shoes on the bed rule they are sinking in.
