I could go on and on! I love how inquisitive toddlers are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ask-you-who-bought-something#post-394356 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 04:25:56 +0000 mrbee 394356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought Charlie a jigsaw puzzle over Amazon and when I gave it to him, he asked me who bought it for him. I said, "mommy and daddy bought it for you," and he seemed satisfied.</p> <p>Then this weekend, I bought him two books, and he saw me pay for it at the cashier. Later when I started to read it to him that night, he asked me, "Who bought this?" I wanted to tell him, "OMG you just saw me buy this!" But I just said, "Daddy bought this for you, remember we were at the bookstore today?" He said he remembered, but I actually don't think he cared about the details. He just always likes to ask who bought something... it's like his first default thought when he sees something.</p> <p>This is the typical conversation: he will ask who bought something, I will tell him, and then if it's not me I will usually suggest that he thank that person... and he will say something like, "Thank you, mommy!" (We also do this when he asks who made him his dinner.) So I try and hijack the whole process and turn it into a gratitude thing. Not sure if that's useful/helpful, but it gives me a sense of control haha!</p> <p>It's become such a common question lately though, that I wondered if other kids are also fascinated with this? Do your kids ask where things came from? </p>
