"Why, Mama?"

Amelia's first sled.

She picked out this outfit and wanted to dance by the Christmas tree.

Pretending it's raining inside.

"Why?"

It started. The one word question that dominates our conversations as of late.
It started last Thursday and has been used more and more frequently as the days go by.
I knew it was coming. I had been waiting for it. And now it's here.

"Don't tip your sippy cup over." "Why?"
"We have to go to the grocery store." "Why?"
"Be careful. The sidewalk is icy." "Why?"

So, Amelia wants to know why at 28 months. An amazing signal that her mind is expanding quickly and that she's really beginning to understand cause and effect.
Another developmental milestone. I'm just making a note of it.
Hilarious Amelia-isms to follow regarding this topic, I'm sure...
