"Thank You Mummy!"

I made macaroni soup for lunch yesterday and I must say it tasted pretty good. But what do kids know about good food? Anyway, this happened at the lunch table:

I was feeding Gabe his portion and somewhere around the middle of the meal...
Gabe: Mummy cook muum muum.
Cheoklet: For who?
Gabe: For Gabriel boy. Mummy cook food for Gabriel boy. Thank you mummy!
Cheoklet: Oh! *quite startled* Thank you for saying thank you. You're welcome.
Gabe: Thank you mummy cook food for Gabriel. (And for the rest of the meal, he repeated this sentence every now and then.)
Gabe: Mmm... soup is niiiiiiiiiiice. Soup is gooooood.

I was caught off guard that he could voluntarily say thanks for something that I've been doing everyday anyway. Makes me wonder if he'll say thanks to mummy for giving him a shower. In any case, I thanked him for appreciating my efforts and told him that it was really sweet of him to do so. Sigh... *face wrinkled up in emotion* so sweet hor?
