Even though Max is now 20 months old, he will always be my baby. Lately, I'm seeing less and less baby and more and more glimpses of the two year old on his way. For example-
This evening Max was enjoying a juice pop (frozen o.j.) while I loaded the dishwasher after dinner. He kept trying to go downstairs with it. Here was our conversation:
Me: "Max, stay in the kitchen with the juice pop."
Max: "why?"
Me: "Because food belongs in the kitchen."
Max: "why?"
Me: "Because it will make a mess."
Max: "why?" (starting back down the stairs)
Me: "Max, stay in the kitchen"
Max: "why?"
Me: "Because food belongs in the kitchen."
Max: "why?"
Me: "Because its messy."
Max: "why?"
Me: "Because......"
You get the idea. We played at least 3 rounds of this game before I ended it with the classic parenting line.
"Because I said so!"
Ahhh.... the fun begins.

that word was the bane of my existence for almost 2 years! Your post brought back a flood of memories, LOL.
You can't tell me you have never used that one before!!!
Hattie has never been a "why-er" - of course she is yet to be a talker, so maybe we will get there!!
Love ya!
He's already at the "why" stage? Ugh... totally a glimpse of things to come.
