Miriam's new favorite word is "Why?" Why is that car red? Why is the sun so hot [she means bright--she is covering her eyes]? Why did it snow? Why is Jesus in heaven?
Basically my day is a constant barrage of questions. Madeleine also did this but not to the extent of Miriam. But then again Miriam talks CONSTANTLY--so she creates lots more opportunities for questions.
I try to give answers to most of her questions, but when I have to answer about a hundred or more a day, I start running out of answers. So I occasionally answer with "I don't know" or "Because." Well Miriam is on to me. She is no longer satisfied with my vague answers. Now, when she asks "why" she ends with "and don't say because or I don't know." Well, what if I don't know! Life is so tough with kids.
P.S. -- Check back tomorrow. Joel and I have been working hard on our new flooring since yesterday afternoon. We should be finished tomorrow afternoon. I will post some pictures of our work--it is looking fantastic!

I have to admit I totally laughed out loud. Thank goodness Kylie hasn't gotten to that phase yet. She cracks me up.
