What's This?

Well we have officially entered the "What's This?" stage at the Devine pad. By that I mean, "What's This...Mommy....What's This...Mommy, Mommy, MOMMY!...What's This." 24/7, every second, every day...So, I ask you Moms out there what are some constructive ways to channel this incredible time of learning so that by the end of the day you're not ready to pull your hair out for hearing the questions and MOMMY demands. It is a great time and amazing how much they learn during these windows, but this one can get a bit taxing by the end of the day.

This morning...in an effort to keep things peaceful for a while I decided we would make Ella's scrambled eggs together. I kept her informed each step of the way what everything was and exactly what we needed to do...she stirred, added the salt & pepper, and even help scramble them (briefly of course). We topped them with cheese, and sat down to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast. An entire 45 minutes...no, "Mommy, what's this." It was great!
