Can you tell what stage we’re in?!?!?

Some of the questions that have been posed in our house lately include:

-why do bugs come in the house?

-why do trees live outside?

-why can’t I have Oreo cookies for breakfast?

-why is the sun going to bed?

-why can’t Mommy come on the airplane? (Andrew and Julia are off on their own adventure to FL this weekend)

-why do yellow lights mean be careful?

-why do we need to make dinner?

-why can’t I have Nerds (the candy) for breakfast?

-why is the baby in Mommy’s tummy?

-why can’t I see the big dipper? (asked mid-day)

-why do plants need water?

-why does Daddy have to work?

-why can’t I have M&Ms for breakfast?

… and many many more!

I have to admit it’s pretty amazing to listen to her as she thinks about things and wonders why they happen and puts things together in her mind, or makes leaps that I completely don’t expect.  Even so, though I try pretty hard not to, the phrase “just because” has been coming out of my mouth on a much more regular basis lately… usually after 3:00pm or so!
