My mind hurts from answering so many why questions today. -v- has a bit of a brain wear, too. I reason I need to learn more about physics because Ezra’s why questions can come down to the molecular level. I have also realized why my dad would some times just say, ,,Because I said so.” I have said that more than once this evening. I am all out of why.
For some reason, I feared the why stage of mental growth of Ezra. So far, the why stage has been good. It has helped me give reason to Ezra why washing hands is a good; why brushing teeth is needed; why we need to change muddy pants before he gets into his bed. With these three why questions, I have answered and received many times a reply of understanding and renewed willingness from Ezra to wash hands, brush teeth and change muddy pants before bed.
I have also had fun to begin to ask Ezra why with the latest most often why query from me being: Why don’t you want to poop in your toilets at home?
Ezra asked why today. During the past, it has been what. In fact, I think today was the first time he asked me why. He asked me why after I told him I was going to go play Futsal. Ezra asked, ,,Why?”
