Anyway, lately Andrew has been asking sooooooo many questions. It's mostly about the words we say. Like this morning when we were reading the scriptures about Alma and Nehor, he asked what the word "boldly" meant. After we mentioned it means he strongly defended himself (talking about Nehor when he is brought before Alma). Then he asks, "what does defend mean?" It seems like it continues on because the words we use to describe the other words he doesn't understand. Do you run into this problem? I mean really, how many words can you use to describe the word "persuade" or to describe "soft" to a child? The English vocabulary is so vast "whats vast?"

I often feel as if I'm moving in slow motion. But there is so much to get
done in a full day. For me, one day ends up feeling like three separate
days. Gon...

haha. That is so true. I have not thought about it because Halle is not at that age...yet. It is hard to describe some words. At least he is being a thinker and trying to understand. I give him two thumbs up for that!
My kids do that, ask tons and tons of questions. It's a good thing! Keep answering them. Logan will ask question after question just like what you said and when I don't have an answer and neither does Ben I usually say, "that is a good question and someday you'll have to ask Heavenly Father that.' or 'Heavenly Father made it that way'. I figure that if he or Brin keep asking questions and I always answer them or help them find the answer, then when they get older they'll come to me instead of their friends when the questions matter the most. well that's my theory anyways. Does that make sence?

I get tripped up all the time. Do I look like a walking dictionary? I am getting better with answers but sometimes I admit...I run for the dictionary!
Yes, we have this same journey in our house. There is one word that Jakob understands, Google!:)
We deal with that, too. It is crazy how even though you know what the word means, it is almost impossible to explain it to a kid. We have those conversations every day!
