The girls are both at very fun ages, but I have to say, they ask me A LOT of questions. I've probably been asked 1,800 questions today. I try to answer as many as I can, but let me tell you, it's hard! I'm pretty spent at the end of every day.
Here's a snippet of what I heard as we drove to our outing yesterday. This was probably a minute of the 20 minute drive.
Rosie: Mommy, why does that guy have a hat on?
Kiki: Animal "Cackers"?
Rosie: Mommy, can I get a hat?
Kiki: Animal cackers, "Pease"?
Rosie: Mommy, how many cats are too many cats?
Kiki: I want animal cackers. Pease!
Rosie: Mommy, where are we going?
Kiki: Mommy, animal cackers?
Rosie: Mommy, will there be cookies there?
Kiki: Animal Cackers, MOMMY? PEASE!!!!
Rosie: Mommy, can we go somewhere where they have cookies?
Kiki: ANIMAL CACKERS!!!
Do you see why I feel a little insane some days? I know I need to enjoy these moments and treasure them. I'm sure there will come a time when they won't talk as freely and won't want to hear my answers to questions. Better take it, while I can get it, I guess.
I'll leave you with my favorite "exchange" from yesterday's trip:
Rosie: Mommy, I want to go to the hospital to get a baby for myself. I'll just put it in my belly. I really want to be a mommy. Hey, how do they put babies in bellies anyway?
Me: Hmmm...ask your father. Well, actually, when a mommy and daddy love each other so much, there's so much extra love, that they make a baby!
Rosie: Well, Mommy, I love Kiki a whole lot...so...
Me: Do you guys want some animal crackers?

haha! Rosie asked me last fall how the baby got in my belly and I told her to ask her mom :) I was really startled by the whole thing and wasn't expecting it at all. I like your answer though. :)
What is going on this week that so many kids are asking these questions. I successful diverted last year but had to resort to a book this year. Rosie is SO FUNNY. I'm glad I'm not alone in the question dept....
