We are the teachers

Connor is in the WHY stage now.

Everything is always why mom. Why do i have to get dressed, why does the birds fly and not walk, why do i have to take a bath, why do cars go fast. Its why after why after why.

While we are driving all you her is why, home come, because why. Before i would be bugged by it and just say Because Connor. I would get frustrated and just want him to stop talking cause it was always the same question over and over again..

But one day in the car he asked me why do you love me mommy.?

I was lost for words, how do i tell me son why i love him. There are a million and one reasons why i do.

Do i start naming why i love him. Do i just say something short and sweet, or what do i do. I finally told him lots a reason why i love him. And he tode me awh Mommy i love you to. Melted my heart.

After he asked me that i thought to myself. I'm Connor teacher, everything i say or do Connor learns from me. All the things he does bad or all the things he does good he has learned from him mommy. He is asked all these why question cause he is wanting to learn, he want to know all things in this world of his. He want to know why birds fly and not walk, he wants to know why cars drive fast, why i have to go to work, why that person is walking, why dogs dont like cats, he want to know all and im the one who needs to teach him why they all do that stuff. Im Connor teacher and i need to teach him..

Im now taking my time and explain things for him, even if he does get it and asked my why again, i know that even if i have to repeat myself 30 times i will take the time and teach him everything i know. In the end Connor will know all the WHY's.

Connor I love you for this smile of yours!!

I LOVE YOU BOO BOO
