G was eating on the couch and had very messy hands. I was sitting next to him, trying to be vigilant, but the boys got quick hands and smeared a finger on the arm of the couch before I could stop him. I had a towel already to hand, and I started scrubbing off his hands to prevent any further smearing, and my wife grabbed a wet rag to clean off the sofa. While I was cleaning his hands, G apologized to the couch. G: Im sorry couch. Im sorry I got you dirty. Feel better? We dont force apologies, and only rarely even suggest them (If you wanted to help him feel better, you could tell him that youre sorry, or some such) but he really seems to be running with them. Same thing with his pleases and thank yous. We just model it, and he picks up on it. Pretty easy.
