Just call him Mr. Inquisitive

So big guy has been super inquisitive recently.  His new favorite word is "why?" All last week were questions about our house.  Here is a sample of some of our conversations:
BG- Why do we live in our house?
Me- Mommy and Daddy bought this house.
BG- Why did you buy it?
Me- We liked it.
BG- What did you like about it?
Me- Well, we liked that it was pretty, where it was in our town... (perfect answer by the way and I was secretly thinking, this is it, he can't ask any more questions!)
BG- Why is it pretty?

As you can see, last week was a lot of explaining.  But only to be surpassed by the conversation on saturday.  The leaves have started to change color, so we've been chatting about why they change colors:

BG- Why do leaves change colors?
Me- Well, the seasons are changing.  The sun is awake for a shorter amount of time during the day so the leaves are changing colors.  And it's getting colder.  And soon the leaves will fall down.
BG- Why do we have colors?
Me- Ummm, Mommy is going to have to think about that for a little bit.
Hubs- Well, see we have this thing called the light spectrum... (cue, lengthy explanation about the sun, prisms, light spectrum.  I look at hubs and say, you know he doesn't understand all that.  Hubs says, "true, but he's stopped asking questions for a few moments."
