We've entered the inevitable stage of toddlerhood.
Yes, you know what I'm talking about.
The stage where every.single.thing I say is followed by the question, "Why?"
It's honestly not so bad for the first few rounds of questions. Recently Little Man & I have had a few fantastic conversations about how rain works, how food is harvested, how different appliances in our home work, the differences between babies and toddlers, and many other topics. After every statement I make, his little voice asks, "Why?" one more time, and because of that we've been able to get really deep into quite a large number of topics. I can tell that he is listening so very intently, picking out important details, and learning so beautifully.
But then we hit those other conversations where I honestly want to resort to the old tried and true, "Because I said so." I haven't uttered those words yet, but I'm sure they're coming at some point.
