My Look: Skirt, Top, Jacket(similar), Shoes (similar)
As a Parent, we need to know everything and as Aubrey gets older, the questions being asked become more complicated. We are 2 years into this whole talking thing with him and I find the questions that he asks me are pretty straight forward….most of the time. If they aren’t, I can somehow quickly come up with an answer that is based loosely on the truth. Once answered, he usually starts a conversation about that answer and is pretty content.
But lately, these questions have become detailed. Instead of the whole ‘why does it rain?’, it’s more like ‘why did that person say that on the radio?’ or other silly questions that I don’t have the answer to. But, the problem is, he is used to us having the answer to everything. So when we answer with “I don’t know”, he repeats the question over and over. To him, ‘I don’t know’ means that we don’t understand. So, when he hears those three words, he tries his hardest to get us to understand what he is asking. When we explain that we do understand, but don’t have an answer, it is almost as though he is heart broken at the idea that mommy and daddy don’t know everything. I know it is a stage that he is going through and that we need to grin and bear it but I hate letting him down or seeing him frustrated at me. He is right, mommy and daddy should be experts at life. But, for now, we will keep on trying to get him to understand that ‘I don’t know’ doesn’t have anything to do with his speech.
As for this outfit, I stopped by Thyme Maternity the other day, praying for a solution to my denim craving that would work with the size of this bump I have going on. They did! this denim skirt was EVERYTHING! I love me a good skirt and with its high belly band and pencil fit, I felt quite girly in this. A feeling I have been missing lately. I also grabbed this great tank that can be warn as a scoop neck or V-neck AND covers the bump. With only a few weeks left to go, basics are my new best friend.
