He has been asking, "What that?" This question comes out of his mouth approximately 64 times a day. He points to something and asks, "Mommy, what that?" Usually I can answer and I appreciate his curiosity and his desire to learn. Although by the 52nd time he asks that question I am a little tired of telling him what everything is. This is expecially hard when we are driving and I cannot see what he is pointing at and he insists on me doing everything I possibly can to see what he is pointing at, even if that means getting in a car accident.
The second phrase he has been saying a lot lately is "Oh, I see." Usually this comes after I tell him what something is. Like last night I was making a lemon meringue pie to bring to work. When he heard the mixer going at a high speed he ran in to the kitchen, asked to sit on the counter and then pointed at the meringue in the mixer and asked, "What that?" I said to him, "Those are egg whites that are being whipped in to meringue." He looked at me and very seriously said, "Oh, I see."
I laughed pretty hard when he said this, does he have any idea what meringue is? No, I am pretty sure he doesn't. But he just sounds so mature and so adult when he says, "Oh, I see." He really makes me believe he completely understands what meringue is.
Really I think he was just sucking up to me, he knew I would let him lick the mixer when I was done. See.... isn' t he mature?
