in other news, before i could have my coffee this morning (actually, AS i was making it...) adam asked me

why is our oatmeal brown?
why does the sky go allll the way up and alllll the way back down?
what IS this INSIDE the blueberry??

whew.

adam is the easiest kid i know.  i know i'm his mom, but seriously - he's a listner and a rule follower, his manners are impeccable, he plays well on his own and almost never gets into trouble, he's funny and smart and considerate.

but man, can that kid ask some questions.  this is the hardest part about being a mom right now (so small, i know, and trust me i am not complaining.)  most adults know when to observe a person's privacy - first thing in the morning is not a prime, many-questioned conversation time period.  nor is when a person is on the toilet, showering, brushing their teeth, etc.  i get questions all day during those times.  every day.  repeated over and over until i respond with something.

i love his questions.  love love love.  i am so glad his brain is turning and working and he actually thinks i know the answer to everything he dreams up to ask me.  apparently i need to set my alarm for 6am again this week so i can get good and coffee'd up before he rises.
