But Why?

These 2 words are Brandon's most spoken words at the moment. I never thought it was humanly possible for 1 small child to ask why so often. He asks why so much that the conversation gets to the point of there simply no longer being an answer to his why. I answer his why every singly time until I get to that point and then I have to stop. Brandon does have some variety in how he asks his questions. Instead of saying "but why?" all the time, he might mix it up and ask "why mummy?, or if he is on a roll he'll abbreviate simply to "why???".

This morning the 2 boys and I ran out of the house to get some petrol before then going to my early morning doctors appointment. For the past week my glands in my neck and my throat have been huge and I've been unable to swallow anything without crying in pain. Last night was my point of I've had enough and nothing that I'm doing is working revelation, so I vowed to make an appointment with a doctor. My doctor's appointment lasted a grand total of 4 minutes. They billed it as a long appointment so I wonder curiously what they consider a brief appointment to be as was stated on their price list. I think I'm in the wrong profession.

Somewhat perplexed by my appointment, we went home where I stocked up on herbs and all sorts of natural medicine that I have. I was going to take the kids to a park but they were both extremely keen to go to the toy section of Myer. It took them a lot of time to convince me to go but we ended up at Myer. I bought Brandon an 'Easy' Transformer, and Bailey a toy Boat from Thomas and friends. I can not stand Transformers. By this afternoon I told Brandon that I was never ever going to buy another Transformer again in my life. This is the 2nd one that I have got stuck doing all the time. I stand firm in my decision to never ever buy another one.

Once we finally found someone in Myer who worked there to help us, the 2 boys and I then headed down to Best 'n' Less to get some warm clothes for the kids. Both boys were really good walking what felt like many, many kilometres back to the car. Bailey slept while Brandon tried so very hard not to, and of course he won. Brandon and myself hung out for awhile together before I went and woke Bailey up. It was getting too late. Daddy came home, showered, ate and then swept the 2 boys off  back to the shops so he could do a few things. Very much appreciated. I know that any minute they will come crashing through the door and the thought of quietness will become a very distant memory.

I am sure that during dinner, during the bath, and on his way to bed, Brandon will fly out numerous times "But Why?". I am truly surprised that I don't go to sleep dreaming of those 2 words.
