Questions

We knew it would come one day: The age of questions.  Why this?  Why that?  What does this do? Why? What if we didn't do that?  What if cars had no wheels?  What if houses could fly?

Every moment of every day Sam is full of questions.  He asks them constantly.  So much so, that Katie counted 15 questions within a brief 5 minute span.  And I don't think that is a record.

Admittedly, it is sometimes challenging to come up with answers to all of Sam's questions in life.  Sometimes we tell him to save it for Grandpa, especially if it is a science questions, sometimes we ignore it, sometimes we ask him a question back.  

But mostly, we are happy to see Sam really exploring his world. By and large most of Sam's questions are truly inquisitive and not just for the sake of asking a question.  He is really trying to figure out his world and we are seeing that play out in the form him asking questions.  Annoyance aside, it is wonderful to watch a 3 year old trying to understand why things work.  We often take things for granted or have a much better filter than to ask the question a 3 year old asks, but at times (say from question 1-10 in a 5 minute span) it is enjoyable to watch Sam learn about his world.
