RE: "Hey Daddy, why is the sky blue?"
I love your post! My son is at the stage now where he points to everything and makes me name it for him. I look forward to when he starts asking the “what if” and “why” questions. I just hope I will have the patience like you do.
I’m part of the #newbieresteemday initative. We’re a group of volunteers that want to help newbies succeed on here. Let’s see if I can help get more eyes on this page for you.
It’s wonderful your son still remembers your answer to why the sky is blue. Maybe he’ll pass it on to his children and it’ll become a family tradition. 🙂
Hi beeyou, thanks for the comment! :). I still miss those days immensely. Time really does fly by and it only seems like yesterday that he was pestering me with all of those questions. Enjoy every single one of them cos they get less and less as they get older. As long as you're willing to answer properly and know that you're helping to build his view of the world then you'll have the patience! :). I hope he will pass it onto his kids in time! :)
Thanks for the #newbieresteemday initiative, you're very kind! :)
I was hoping we could have gotten more eyes on this for you @theblackcrow. It really is a beautiful post and the love for your son shines through. I like the bits of humor in it too.
They do grow up fast. I swear it was just yesterday that I was holding my son’s small fingers. Now he’s his own little person and sometimes want nothing to do with mommy. Lol. I will remember this story when he begins to ask his questions and try to answer as best I can. Thank you for sharing.
I hope you continue to share great stories with us. All the best to you.
Thank you for trying beeyou, you're very good! I'm just glad that someone liked it. :). I've said it myself to others that time really does fly, especially as you get older. It only seems like yesterday to me too that I was holding his hand, now he's a grown man. I'm a great believer in the notion that if you put the time and effort in when they're kids they'll repay that time and effort back to you when they're older. Don't worry about your son having independance and sometimes wanting nothing to do with you, he'll always find his way back! :)

You really have to let me know when you share another great story. I'm not on here too often, and when I do come on, I never get a chance to make my rounds to all my favorite author's page. You're now one of them :)
I will take your advice to heart. I know the busy ways of life doesn't allow us to spend the quality time we want with our children anymore. And the years really do fly by. I will remember to put down my phone (no steemit) and spend as much time with them as possible.
btw, I'm glad you wrote about the Tyndall effect. You hinted at in on your intro post. :)
That's very nice of you to say I'm one of your favourites. :). I'll do my best to remind me to remind you! ;). I'm glad you liked both posts and I always try to keep my word, if I say I'll do something I do my utmost to get it done. :). Quality time doesn't have to be one on one conversations, it can be playing a video game together, or going to the shops together or any sort of activity where the two of you are present and interacting together, it's a lot easier to do than people realise. :)
We plan on taking our little brat out today for some quality family time. Brat since he has been throwing a terrible two’s tantrum all day. 🙂
I will remind myself to check on your blog in case you don’t have the chance to remind yourself to remind me. Hehe, we may have lost some readers there.
Have a great day!
Lol, we may have lost each other never mind other readers! ;). It doesn't feel like it when you're in the middle of the tantrums, but one day you'll miss them! Hope you had a great day out! :)
