Coopers not even 22 months yet but he's very intelligent and is very good with his speech so we are already saying 'use your words' when he wants something but whinges instead, also getting him to say please and thank you as well, if you know she can talk well then I can't see how it's a bad thing to try and nip the whinging in the bud before it becomes to much of a habit. With the mummy thing, Cooper has started calling DH 'daddy mummy' I think because now I'm at tafe on Thursday's he stays home that day and does all the mummy things I do lol
