Mackenzie is developing quite the personality. She totally cracks us up so often these days, especially with her stories & such that she comes up with. Like when Daddy comes home from work each day & asks her what she did - she doesn't always tell him the truth...... Maybe she tells him what she wishes she had done that day? It's pretty funny though to hear what she might say we've done that day & how far it is from the truth! She is also HEAVILY into asking us "Why?". To EVERYTHING! Seriously. I thought we had until she was 3 to get into the why phase, but nope, not even 2 1/2 yet, and already it starts. For instance, today we went out to eat with her grandparents. As we were trying to get her into the car, she bent over and started picking up rocks (another favorite pastime), and my mom realized she was starting to pick up some glass from the parking lot. My mom, of course, tells her not to pick up the glass. "Why?". Because it will hurt you. "Why?". Because it is sharp. "Why?". Because sharp things can cut you. "Why?". (I'm not exaggerating!). Enter her father. Because when sharp things break your skin, it sends a message to your brain that says that is painful. "Why?". Just because!!
Another favorite thing she does sometimes is over-extend her age by a few years. I'll ask her how old she is, and sometimes I get the correct answer, 'TWO!". Other times, it has been "SIX!". And every now & then, I get a "TEN!". Oh boy, she's two going on ten. Sounds about right.
