Deep questions

Finny asked us yesterday, "Why am I myself?" 

Thanks to all the parenting guides I am totally prepared for questions about reproduction and baby origination, but these existential questions take some more thought. He's also asked me before, "where was I before I was born?" This came in an intense teary eyed moment that I'm sure I completely botched. 

In any case, I love that he thinks about this stuff. To me it means he is a thoughtful person who is aware of his life. Which, in the future I hope will lead to compassion toward other people's lives and situations. 

But really, who knows? I'll keep you updated.
