August Hermann: Mr. Please and Thank-You

Mariska Hargitay shares some special moments with her son August Hermann, 3, as they prepare to depart for NYC from LAX airport in Los Angeles on Monday (September 21).

“My son made me look really good when two people told me he said ‘Excuse me, would you be so kind…’,” the 45-year-old Law & Order: SVU star has told OK! “She said ‘What have you been teaching him?’ And I went ‘that.’ He’s very polite, and that makes me very proud. He’s Mr. Please and Thank You. That’s important to me.”

So cute!

Mariska was in L.A. for the 2009 Emmy Awards.
