But enough about you

There has been a mild amount of buzz in the blogosphere the last few days about the Five Whys technique for getting to the root of a problem. When something happens, you are supposed to ask why five times, and you'll get to the root cause.

Elliott must have been reading too many blogs, because this is the week he started doing the completely typical three-year-old thing of asking "Why?" incessantly. So far he seems to be listening to the answer and not just saying "Why?" again as a knee-jerk reaction. I am hopeful that the listening thing will stick.

I have been expecting and dreading this phase for the last six months or so and now it is here. So far it's not as bad as I feared. Ask me again in a few weeks... Just don't ask me "Why?" I feel so frustrated. :)
