Growing Up & Super Why

Growing Up...

Sasha had her 5yr check up with Dr. B. on Friday.    We had her measured & she was 45" (90%), I think she is a bit taller becuase she was slouching some.    She also gained some weight & was 42lbs (55%).    She is into trying new things (a huge step for her), so we are very happy with her weight gain :)    She had to get 4 separate shots.  It took two nurses & me holding her.     She didn't fight us, but was terrified.     Poor kid.    She has never liked going to the Dr. or the Dentist.      The whole visit was pretty draining for her & I .   Sadie came with us & was perfect.    Sadie loves going to Dr. B.    She would go every week if she could, silly girl.    

Super Why...

Last Tuesday Sadie came home from school & asked me "why" for every thing.   

Me:  Sadie it's time for lunch.

Sadie: Why...

Me: Sadie put your dolls away.

Sadie: Why...

Me: Sadie it's time to take a bath.

Sadie: Why...

I am going nutty, seriously nutty.   Sasha never did the "why phase".   I am actaully trying to discourage it with questions like "why do you think it' time to (fill in the blank)"  or by saying "Sadie, I already said it is time to take a bath becuase it is late & you have school tomorrow".     I have also told her that she can't ask why unless it is a real question.   I sound mean, but if everything ends with "why", you seriously need a break!     The whole phase seems to be passing.    I am getting less "whys"!

(BTW...the question mark has not worked on my keyboard for months.   I really need to get that fixed, it's getting hard to post here).
