Yeah, this is our first. I actually prefer this psuedo-talking period over the non-talking period. When he's upset, he is usually able to tell me why so I can fix it.
I also think I have the politeist 2 year old ever. When he was just starting to talk and had a vocabulary of about 10 words, among them were "please" (PEEZ) and "thank you" (TAT CHU). He says please and thank you without being prompted.
Just tonight he was spinning in circles like kids do, and I guess he got dizzy and lost his balance. He bumped into a glass of Coke and knocked it over. It was a complete accident and I definitely wasn't mad at him or anything. I grabbed a dishtowel and began sopping up the Coke out of the carpet, and I noticed he also grabbed a towel and tried to do the same. He started saying "sorry daddy" about a million times. He was genuinely sorry for knocking over a drink, and it almost broke my heart listening to him say how sorry he was and trying to clean it up. I kept telling him it was okay and that I knew it was an accident, but he wouldn't stop saying sorry until I got the mess cleaned up. He insisted on giving me a huge hug to make things all better.
