Kendall has begun asking, Why? This started on Friday and has produced no signs of ceasing. On Saturday morning, as I was attempting to get her dressed, the conversation went like this:
M: Kendall, please come up here so you can get dressed.
K: Why?
M: Because we are going to Mom Mom & Pop Pops.
K: Why?
M: Because Mommy is bored.
K: Why?
M: Because Daddy isn't home.
K: Why?
M: Because he is at Bruno's Bachelor Party.
K: Why?
M: Because he is the best man and Bruno and Heather are
getting married.
K: Why?
M: Because that is what you do when you love each other
a lot.
K: Why?
M: Because that is the way God designed it.
K: Oh, he designed it?
M: Yes! Now please get up here and get ready.
K: Why?
M: I told you why, now move it!
I have been trying to just adjust to these multiple why questions with each conversation I have with her and be patient keeping in mind that this is how she is going to figure out some things, but man, does it drive me crazy!

Stats
Kendall Anne
Our darling first born. Kendall is passionate and dramatic. She presently lives in a Disney Princess world where godmothers, fairies, and princes visit her all day long. She is a preschooler in love with learning. It would be a real waste of talent if one day she is not standing up, Oscar in hand, thanking her dear mother for being her never tiring audience, permitting her to use her hardwood floors as a stage, and allowing her to go out in public dressed up in a ballgown to pick up groceries.
Ethan Thomas
My Second Child, the Mama's Boy. This boy has wanted to crawl back into my uterus since he was born. He is endearing and a challenge at the same time. E's best friend is his sister, and is subsequently the supporting actor in many acts in our home. Ethan is in love with Superheroes, Toy Story and his buddy Ryan. He loves to sing off key and snuggle with his blankie. He is as sensitive as his sister is domineering. But boy does he love his Mama...doesn't that fix everything?
Jacob Michael
My little man. He is presently the reigning champion of cuteness and is perhaps the most pleasant baby I have ever met. He makes my heart melt and I wouldn't mind if he stayed 8 months forver.
Lillian
The fattest cat in the east.She really is quite the lady. Lillian spends her days alternating dirty looks between the kids and the dog and begging for more food. Our sweet girl has no front claws to give those that annoy her a nice swat, and resorts to growling and spitting as her way of communication, its quite charming. Lily has been around since the start of this thing, and we fear her getting out and sharing what really goes on within these four walls.
Stanley
Stanley spends his days following us around, stealing snacks out of the childrens hands, barking at his friends walking by and the garbage men, and snorting. At night he engages in snoring competitions with the head of the household. He is currently reigning champion.
