DS Really isn't a baby anymore

I mean I knew he wasn't. But it keeps becoming more and more real.
I scolded him today and he wouldn't look at me. So, I asked him to say "yes, mama" so that I would know he got it. He did. And then he said "Me understand, mama." Wahhhhhh
I don't know why that got me but it was such an aware thing to say. Like he knew I wasn't sure he got it and was emphasizing to me that duh mom I understand.
Then tonight we were at my parents. They had a fire in the fireplace. We were saying our goodbyes and along with saying goodbye and love yous he pops up with "thank you very much for the fire." OMG! We hadn't been talking about it or anything and apparently he decided that the socially acceptable thing to do was to thank them. Lol
He's been talking and conversing with us for such a long time now but it seems like all of a sudden we've hit this other level where he understands social niceties and unspoken verbal cues and responds to them in such a mature way. I'm so proud but I miss my baby!
Are you guys feeling this way more and more lately?

Re: DS Really isn't a baby anymore
This!
What a big boy G is - so polite!
DS is the same way - always with please, thank you & sorry, mommy.
Tonight as MH was carrying him up to bed he said, "I love you mommy, I'll miss you!" LOL The I love you was expected, but where did he get I miss you from? I've actually made a point to NOT use that phrase around him b/c I don't want it planted in his head, so I don't know where he got it from.
And on a more devious note - sometimes MH will put a super hero type cartoon on for DS, but there are scary parts. So sometimes I'll say, "oh this is scary, let me change this". So now when I am watching something I want to watch or even when a cartoon he doesn't like is on, he'll say, "I'm scared, mommy, change it!" Seriously kid - My Little Pony (or whatever) is not scary, but nice try!"
Mwahahaha... MLP is a little scary.
Ha ha! Smart kid.
Ha ha! Smart kid.
Oliver tells us when he's scared too. Like today when he was taking a bath and turned the shower on.. He freaked out and said.. Shower scared me mama.
He has also started asking dh how his day at work was. How was your day daddy? Then dh Will answer and ask him about his day... And he says .. Pretty good, daddy! Love that one.
