Qs and As

Katie is now 4 and a half, and little kids her age love to ask WHY?

Their questions are usually amusing, and sometimes the answers one as parent comes up with, are pretty witty.

Katie: “dad, why can parrots talk?”
Paul: “they must have a lot to say”

But also some more serious questions start appearing…

Where do babies come from?

And in the adoption household the even harder ones come up:

Mom, why didn't I grow up in your belly?
Dad, why do some kids grow up without a daddy?

In order to answer her questions (the current ones and the ones that she’s not asking right now but will come in the future) I finally finished her Lifebook. 

I am proud that I finally did it and I am anxious to receive the actual book and start reading it to her.

And right after finishing her book, Paul found a poem that used to be in display in his house for his adoptive siblings and that beautifully summarizes the message we want to convey to her.
