But Why?

Alex's vocabulary is expanding in leaps and bounds. Which means that she is at that stage where the questions are flowing..."What is he/she/it doing?" has morphed into "Why?"

So to try to maintain some sort of sanity, I've decided to make her work for her answers: "Why? by itself is not a question mummy will answer. You need to use all of your words: Why is that man doing that? etc"

So far, it is having the desired effect and is slowing down the questions - somewhat!

Now we await the "Because."

Do you remember doing that to annoy your siblings? Saying why as an answer to everything! God it could get annoying!
