manners...is it a thing of the past?

Visiting with a former colleague today as well as the Mother of two small children, 3 & 5 months, she shared some stories about baby talk...they are so wonderful! Babies are our gifts from God and as my young friend so apply said it "they beyond to God, we are their stewards". Wise beyond her years on this planet and she is a devote Christian as well as a great mother and wife I am sure. Anyway she and her husband are committed to having children with manners! Hurray, someone is willing to hop on the band wagon of parenthood...manners...that's what we used to call it and yes, in some it is alive today...
