I typical conversation in our household now goes something like this:
Goober: "Why is Bub's eating?"
Me: "Because it is time for dinner"
Goober: "Why?"
Me: "Because he is hungry and it's dinner time"
Goober: "Why?"
Me: "Because he has played hard all day and food gives him energy"
Goober: "Why does food give him energy?"
Me: "Because that's how our bodies work"
Goober: "Why is that how our bodies work?"
Me: "Because that is how God made us" (this is a favorite of mine: blame the "why's" on God)
Goober: "Why?"
Me: "Because that's just the way it is"
Goober: "Why?"
Me: "Hey! Would you like to watch Tinkerbell after dinner?" (distraction! And who am I kidding? I let her watch during dinner too)
Goober: "Yay!"
Woohoo! Distraction success! Until....
Goober: "Why is Tinkerbell flying"
Me: *sigh*
At least Bub's isn't quite as bad (yet). He can make his presence known though. He can say "mama", "dada", "hi", "stick" (did I mention he loves his yellow stick?), and we are working on "cat".
And if I catch anyone trying to teach my Bub's to say "why" I will lock you in a room with my 3 year old for a couple hours until you answer at least 100 "why's". And when you get to "that's just the way it is" I will just laugh.

| Bub's loving some puddle play |

| It wasn't long before he was sitting and crawling in the water. Good thing it was a bath night |
