Your little face is usually the first thing I see when I wake up. This morning I was watching you sleep. While your father kind of snores on his back with his mouth open and your sister tends to drool, you're still in that youthful stage where you look perfectly angelic. Which you are. I'm really sorry if I seem impatient with you these days. I can see that little brain of yours whirling away all day, asking me questions every three seconds. Why? is the key word these days. I loved the Why? question for today: "Why does fruit have peels to protect them?" That one came just before "What is in water?" and "Why aren't the stars planets?". Why indeed. Sometimes I try and answer you with real answers but other times I just don't know what to say. I mean, I don't know the answers to some of your questions and you are listening to the answers. I know because I've tested you out a few times and you know when I'm giving you a bogus answer.Anyway, while I was watching you sleep this morning I just thought how grateful I was to have you in my life. I couldn't imagine it without you. Tomorrow I'll try and give you some really good answers to those Why? questions. Maybe I'll study some science facts tonight...

oh julia you sure know how to melt the heart :)
It's amazing the questions those little angels come up with. What a blessing our children are, and he's absolutely gorgeous as well.
Awwww- perfect picture to go with a wonderful post. Save this for him one day.
If you want to add some poetry to your answers, get inspiration from "Il libro dei perché", by Gianni Rodari. Hugs to you, Evan, snoozers and droolers!

julia - this is lovely. i always tell my son he makes me a better mother with all his questions, it teaches me patience and many other things. i'd say your little ones does the same thing.
