I can't tell you why

I can’t remember when Laura starting asking “Why?” but Will asked his very first why question this week. He’s pretty laid back and seems to just go along with thing easily… not a lot of asking why there. But he has never loved being strapped in his car seat. Shortly after he first started to talk—I’ll never forget—we were driving on the highway when he suddenly started hollering, “I stuck! I stuck!” We tried to convince him that he was supposed to be stuck. Periodically we have a conversation in which we review how everyone in the car is stuck. Yes, Mommy’s stuck. And Laura’s stuck. And Daddy’s stuck too. Everyone is stuck. This week, on the way home from daycare, he asked that first why question: “Why do I have to be stuck?” Nothing like explaining projectile babies on the way home from work. I can’t wait to see what his next question is.
