Tonight as I was putting Lexi to bed, she asked me to hold her hand for a minute, which is part of our nightly routine. The rule is that she has to close her eyes, or I won't hold her hand, so I gently reminded her of this tonight. Her response...
Lexi: I'm just looking at your fingers. Why do we have fingers?
Me: So that we can touch things and pick things up.
Lexi: Like when we want to play with a toy?
Me: Yes, exactly. Now, please close your eyes.
Lexi: What about lips? Why do we have lips, and mouths, and noses, and eyes, and cheeks, and chins, and eyebrows, and tummies, and bums?
Me: We'll talk about it in the morning.
Lexi (rolling over and closing her eyes): Okay...
