Eli Conversations

It is not all slow going in the language department for Eli. In fact he is quite proficient at:

Why?

I don't want to!

No!

Mine!

and Eli's turn!

Here is a typical conversation that we have about 1,472 times a day:

Eli: Momma, what's that?

Me: That's a fork.

Eli: Why?


Or another favorite:

Eli: Momma, where's Daddy?

Me: He's at work.

Eli: Momma, where's Daddy?

Me: He's at work...he will be home at dinner.

Eli: Momma, where's Daddy?

Me: (sighing) He's at work.

Eli: Why?

And lets not forget this one:

Me: Eli, go and put your shoes on.

Eli: Why?

Me: We are getting ready to go to the ________.

Eli: Why?

Me: We need to get __________. Please go and put your shoes on.

Eli: Why?

Me: JUST GO AND PUT YOUR SHOES ON NOW!!!!!!!!!! And say "yes ma'am"

Eli: Yes ma'am. Why?

I love how my children are experiencing the same qualities we did in them like WHY? :) and MK's 2 little girls hating to ride in the car as babies- Do you remember that?

Well, you may have missed some of his milestones, but you certainly didn't miss the "why stage" = )

Haha! Yeah Danielle, too bad. I'm sure Jenn wouldn't have missed "missing" this stage:)
