Why?

Elan is definitely in the "why?" stage. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's exhausting. He wants to know everything- when? where? who? why? how?, but his favorite question of all right now is "why?" A typical conversation with Elan goes something like this (in Spanish, of course):
Elan: Let's go to the pool.
Me: No, we can't go to the pool right now.
Elan: Why not?
Me: Because it's windy.
Elan: Why did you say it's windy?
Me: Because it IS windy.
Elan: Why is it windy?
Me: I don't know!!!!

I try not to show my exhaustion because deep down inside I hope he never loses his inquisitive nature. I lost my imagination and wonder for the world a long time ago and I hope that never happens to him. Julio's imagination is still in tip top shape and I hope Elan takes after him.
