S'assoir

Nathan's most recent favorite word is "s'assoir," which in French means "sit down." When he says it, it normally comes out sounding more like "shaaashua" but we can definitely tell what he means.

This evening at dinner, he used it to make sure Alex and I understood that he wanted his "nounou" to "shaaashua" next to him at the table.

He tried feeding him a few tortellini, but apparently his nounou wasn't hungry, no matter how many times Nathan insisted ("Nummy nummy?").
Tonight at dinner was also the first time Nathan said "please." Alex was drinking a glass of ice water, so Nathan said "glacon" ("ice" in French). Alex gave him a piece of ice and he was in heaven! ("Hot. C'est chaud! C'est froid.")
I told him, "Say please, Nathan." He looked at me a little bit, and then asked his mom for another glacon, and added "please" at the end.
