Toddler Conversations!

Connor wants to know why the Coffee table is called a coffee table if it doesn't smell like coffee (yes, he smelled it to check).

Brady wants to know why about everything...why you doing that, why is Connor sleeping, why are we going to ____, why can't I have fruit chews. I think Brady has started with the "whys" a little bit earlier than Connor, probably because he hears it from Connor. I think the "whys" are a good sign of curiosity and wanting to expand their knowledge...however, it can sometimes be exhausting and lead to an endless road. Brady has also made the connection between going to the grocery store when we are out of something that he wants - very demanding child!

Tonight, Connor wanted to control the box of wheat thins. Brady proceeded to do his sign language for please (rubbing his chest) while saying "more". Connor then said, no (the sign for) more is (signed more here) and you need to do this for please (signed please). After much debate, Brady did the sign for please and Connor decided to pass him some crackers. Connor said he was the Cracker Passer tonight. A few minutes later, he recruited daddy to help him pass the crackers and then said he no longer wanted to pass the crackers because he was tired (explaining sign-langauge to Brady was exhausting).
