Why? . . . Why? . . . And Why? . . .


This crazy, fun loving, smart as whip 4 year old
is all about asking "WHY?" these days.
He's always been a curious kid & asked
plenty of why questions before, yet this
last week he's all into asking,
"why?", "why?", & "why?" somemore; followed
by "why?" once the previous question
has been answered.
He's become "irritatingly inquisitive".
But I'm sure we all must have done that
to our parents at one time or another.
At the same time, its prob. better
than being a bump on a log kid.
We'll keep him! :)
