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."
