Figuring things out in this world

In the St. Louis Magic House Children's Museum, they have random facts around the wall. One fact was,


"The average 4-year-old asks 436 questions a day."

I have a feeling, in Cooper's case, it is not going to slow down now that he is five. He has been so curious about everything! The other day we had to explain the universe, planets, night v. day... so... here was a conversation today.

Cooper: "Does everyone on earth have bums?"
Dad: "Yes."
Cooper: "But the earth doesn't have a bum, because it's just round."

Too funny. Also, everything is "interesting". Like the other day when I had only got around to putting one shoe on Beckett. He said, "Mom, look at this. I found something so interesting. Beckett has a shoe on this foot, but not on the other one. That is just so interesting."

KJ asks more questions now than ever, he's 6. I don't know when he'll let up. At least they love to learn right?!?

wow, that's a lot of questions. i'm sure carsen is no exception. he does ask tons of questions. i keep reminding myself that they are good teaching moments, but sometimes it's so tempting to breeze over them.

that is so funny about everything being "interesting" to cooper. so grown up!
