While she certainly is a darling, let me hasten to correct this idea.
Ana does say please. However, she only consistently says it when she wants something she can't have. "Ana, no touch stove!" "Pleeeeeeeeze?" *sighs* The rest of the time, it's a toss-up as to whether or not we have to prompt her.
Ana, when saying please for something she can't have, has an annoying tendancy to whine.
Ana does cover her mouth when coughing or sneezing, because I started her on that out of a fit of passion (I mean, baby germs, ew), but afterwards she tends to wipe her hands on clothes - ours, for preference. Ditto for when she's just touched something she shouldn't.
Yesterday, I built a huge block tower with every one of her alphabet blocks (four of them made the base, so it was really only 23 blocks high), and Ana came in, saw it, went "ooooohhhhh" and knocked it over on top of me. It was stable and everything!
Ana snatches things from other people. All the time.
Ana is really very bossy. "You go to sleep!" "You stay in ticken!" "SING! STOP SING! SING!" and so on.
Ana's passion for throwing things out means that we have to watch her to make sure she doesn't throw out, say, her toy dog at the zoo because she's bored, or *my food* because she doesn't want to eat it.
When you tell Ana to Stop Biting Now, her reaction is to cry and try harder to bite you, saying "I bite! I bite!" just like, in happier times, she goes "I help! I help!" when we want to put the cap back on the water bottle.
Ditto for hitting and kicking.
Ana likes to splash water on people. Okay, so do I, but that's not the point.
Ana is, in short, quite annoying at times. Far from perfect. I just don't talk about it much because, really, she's going to be embarassed enough when she's old enough to google for herself.
