Learning how to ask questions...

Bear Cub is starting to figure out how to ask questions and it is VERY cute!  We have not gotten into the "WHY??" stage yet, but we are excited by his new use of other questions.  Prior to this, he sort of just said things in a command, and then waited for a response from us.  For example, instead of saying, "Can I have fruit snacks?" he might have said something like, "Want fruit snacks!"  

A couple of cute ones from yesterday and today (both conversations occurred in the car).

We were talking about a fun, bouncy place that we used to go to.  He loved climbing and "driving" some inflatable cars there.  So, in the car, he asked loud and clear:

"Can we please go to the fun place and I can play on the cars, Mommy??"  :)

If we hadn't been on our way to an appointment, I would have spun that car around and headed to the "fun place" right then and there after that nicely posed question!

And today...we were discussing the zoo and he was saying he wanted to see the penguins again.  He then said he wanted to go there with our friend, who he calls "Uncle" Matt.  BC said he wanted to hold a penguin and I said that we probably wouldn't be able to do that, but we could ask.  So, then, deciding to practice the BIG question, he said,  "Can I please hold dat penguin, Uncle Matt?"  And then, he answered promptly, with a "YES!"  So, Uncle Matt...you are now the official person who controls who can or can not hold the penguins at the zoo.   Too funny!

Have a great weekend!  I'll try to post some new photos soon!!  :)
