It's so funny how children discern new concepts and the questions they ask reflect that. Wilbur plays around with syntax as he learns the rules of expressing oneself. Lately he keeps asking us what certain things are - conceptually, he's trying to understand it. Like midnight - he asked what time is midnight. But he'll also ask what something is when it just is what it is...
Yesterday, as we got 12 inches of snow between sunrise and sunset, they went out to play at our next-door-neighbor's house. I bundled them up and put a hat on Wilbur under his parka hood. When Wilbur got home I noticed that the hat wasn't on his head and asked him about it. "Oh NO!" he said - "I left it on the porch of Charlie!"
