I can vividly remember riding in the car with my nieces and nephews while listening to their never ending chain of questions. I will have to admit that I would get easily annoyed by their relentlessness. I find it funny how every thing is so different when it is your own child. These days I welcome the questions and try my best to answer them in all honesty. Here is a sample of the endless questions he had on our short drive home from Bellevue Square:
-Mom, why can't we see our bodies growing?
-Does my baby hurt you when he is kicking?
-Why aren't you going fast?
-What is speed limit?
-What's that light for? (pointing to the freeway entrance traffic light.)
-Why does that car have that red light on it?
-What are breaks?
-Can I push on the brakes?
-Mommy, do you have lots of money? You can have some of my pennies when you need them.
I love his inquisitiveness. He is in such a fun, energetic, interesting stage. I cherish each day that I have with him, even when he has me in tears. I know that this time will end all too quickly and I will give anything to get it back.
Last monday, in true Seattle fashion, it snowed and the city shut down. I can't even say it was really snow, however, school was cancelled. What to do on a day when there is no school...
How about a little coloring.
... and maybe some housecleaning
...and last but not least, making cookies for "daddy and all the soldiers".
All while spending the day in our jammies! Love it.
