The "Why?"s

In the past week or so Maggie has started asking "Why?" when we tell her things. And she is rarely satisfied with the first answer. Here's a recent example:

Maggie: "I want milk."
Me: "You can't have any milk Maggie."
Maggie: "Why can't Maggie have milk?"
Me: "Because you were sick last week. Remember how your belly hurt."
Maggie: "Why was Maggie sick?"
Me: "Because you got some germs."
Maggie: "Why did I have germs?"
Me: (in my head) "Because we took you to that nasty McDonalds PlayPlace on the way home from Ohio"
Me: (out loud) "Because sometimes people get sick.

It's still a relatively new conversation, so we think it's adorable. I wonder how long this enchantment will last before it becomes exhausting?

In other language development, Mag has started using pronouns correctly. It's probably 50/50 between her calling herself Maggie or using I/Me. She's still a little confused with the concept of "Me" and "You." It's so adorable when she says, "I come with me." She is trying so hard to get all her words right and make herself understood. She will just keep saying her sentence over and over until you repeat it back correctly. And if you get it wrong she tells you "NO!" I love that she's so determined!
