Today Ava Asked "Why?"

"Yeah, she started saying that today" Mom told me as we were all in the kitchen trying to narrow down our dinner options.

"What?" I asked.

"Why?" your mom responded.

Then it dawned on me that you did ask "why?" when we were all standing there. I heard it loud and clear it just didn't register.

And now we embark on a new era. 

Coaching ain't easy!

You're so good at repeating everything we say that sometimes I get lost in the new words of your vocabulary. 

There's nothing better than hearing that sweet inquisitive voice. 

You'll learn life lessons as you get older and one that I wish I realized early on was to never stop asking questions. You won't always get the answer you seek or expect, but never let that discourage you.

Don't be me - the quiet kid in class that never spoke up. Now in my thirties, I'm finally speaking up and asking questions.
