Where, oh, where have we been? When I last managed a post, Jed had strep. Since then, things have improved considerably, but we've been busy playing catch-up. So here are some photos so you'll remember what the boys look like followed by some important questions.
During the thick of Jed's strep, the boys watched a lot of tv.
Here, the sick child watches tv while the well child naps uncomfortably.
Today, everyone was in top form, as were our camellias.
Notice that Macon's mouth is open. He was probably asking a question.
Back in March 2011, I documented Jed's "why" questions, and today, I documented Macon's questions. I know I missed plenty of queries, but I think this represents approximately five hour's worth of questions, or about one question every 5 or 6 minutes. You'll notice that he often asks where I am. I'm not an absentee mother; he asks where I am even when I'm right beside him.
The first question I wrote down was asked in the car this morning and it's the one that inspired me to keep up with today's questions. We were in the car and he asked why I wasn't a rocket ship. Instead of answering, because how could I answer that, I simply said, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, blast off!!" and stomped on the gas.
Enjoy. And by "enjoy," I mean, "enjoy the fact that you answer far fewer questions during the course of your day."
