World of the Whys!

Just like his brother and sister before him, the Knight has entered into the "World of the Whys".

The Knight has actually been asking "Why?" for a while now, imitating the Prince and Princess. He started at (and I am not kidding) 18 months old. He didn't know what he was saying, but the word "Why?" started coming out of his mouth anyway.

If someone would ask him "Why?" he would answer "Because!" without missing a beat!

It was a game.

We would go back and forth...

"Why?"

"Because!"

"Because!"

"Why?".

Well, now that the Knight is officially 2 1/2, he asks "Why?" and actually knows what he us asking.

This morning the Knight was sitting on the couch beside Princess. He would ask her "Why?", and she would patiently answer him.

This went on and on for about 15 minutes until the Princess, in complete and utter frustration, answered his last "Why?" with "I am NOT going to tell you!" and stomped away.

This made me chuckle to myself.

The Prince and the Princess were both extremely trying at this age. They questioned everything. While it is really neat to watch your child discover the world around them and seek knowledge, at the end of the day I was plumb tuckered out!

And now our third child is entering into this phase.

Only he is asking questions of the Princess and Prince too!

I will not be the only one fielding questions and getting frustrated by this.

Ha!
