The age of questions

I think I must be getting paid back for all the times people told me to be quite and stop asking so many questions. I really didn't know just how annoying it can get until now. Kaily asks questions ALL DAY LONG. Seriously, even if she already knows the answer she still asks. If I try to turn it around so she gets to answer her own question she says, "No mom! I asked you, tell me!" She gets more demanding everyday. She will ask me questions about the shows she has watched and about anything else she can think of. The best ones are the ones she asks pertaining to anatomy and science. It's because she loves to watch "Sid the Science Kid" and b/c of Clint's schooling. She is learning so much and has such a strong desire to know everything. I am so glad she wants to learn and is interested, but honestly, sometimes I just want her to be quiet and stop asking so many questions. But I will never tell her that. I don't want her to think that asking questions is ever a bad thing. I pray that I can just have enough patience to get through each day of non-stop talking. I know this is pay back. Parents you are saints!

Ha Ha! I thought I was reading a description of Korbin there. I know how hard it can be. I use to feel like someone removed my brain zapped it in the blender and put it back in my head by the end of the day. I love my son, but I'm also loving all day kindergarten. It does both of us some good. Good luck!

I think Gracie may be starting to enter that stage. Right now she is obsessed with who made something, from a blanket to a book to car....it doesn't matter. It can be a bit much, huh?
So funny!

She has always been inquisitive but i guess it just goes further when they understand more. Then before you know it, Conner will be doing it and you thought you just got done with Kailey asking... hehe

We love Sid the Science Kid. He's SO cute I just want to squeeze him. And what a good mom you are for not telling her to stop. I'm guilty of saying "just be quiet for a minute please!" Way to go! Love the recipes by the way.
