Why did God make sand, Mommy?

Why do apples have juice in them?
Why are the guinea pigs so soft?
Why did God make the big trucks so slow?
Why is it so hot in Dubai?
Why does Ms. Cabbie not live here anymore?
Why why why...

These are just some of the questions posed by Ashlyn this week...usually on the way to school as
she is observing what is going on around her. We just love answering these questions...doing our best to be accurate and creative when necessary! This is how our children learn...by asking and watching and doing. They watch everything we do. Everything! It's only when you are observing your own children that you become aware of some of your own habits!!
For example, Lisa has become aware of her own somewhat obsessive need for organization when she watched Ashlyn line up her Christmas stocking candy on the floor. The scary thing was...Lisa actually appreciated what Ashlyn was doing. Kaleigh dumped hers out in a big pile on the floor (like most people would do) and Ashlyn wanted to organize it for her. Ha ha! Kaleigh has Dwayne's tv-watching habit. It's not that she watches a lot of tv...because we really limit it. It's just that when she does watch it...she is unable to hear anything that you say to her because she becomes a "part" of the program...just like her Daddy. ;)
