My friend Jennifer did this with her almost-4-year-old and I thought it was a great idea - interview your child! I'm going to do this every year; I think it will be interesting to see how the answers change. Keep in mind I'm taking dictation and keeping myself from correcting my daughter's grammar, as much as that pains me not to! Her favorite color is blue, so I'm putting her answers in blue too.
1. What is something mommy always says to you? That I go upstairs
2. What makes mom happy? Being not so naughty
3. What makes mommy sad? When we don't be helpful
4. How does mommy make you laugh? Tickle
5. What was your mommy like as a child? Knock knock
6. How old is mommy? 10
7. How tall is mommy? 50-42
8. What is mommy's favorite thing to watch on TV? Top Chef - only on Bravo (I kid you not, that's an exact quote)
9. What does mommy do when you're not around? She says "India" (said in a sing-song voice)
10. What is mommy really good at? Putting me to bed
11. What is mommy not very good at? Putting me on the pillow
12. What does mommy do for her job? Go to the park
13. What is mommy's favorite food? Carrots and grapefruit
14. What makes you proud of mommy? (no answer)
15. If mommy were a cartoon, who would she be? A princess
16. What do you and mommy do together? We go to Starbucks when Daddy's not here
17. How are you and mommy the same? We both match dresses
18. How are you and mommy different? When we have different clothes
19. How do you know mommy loves you? All we do is just hug and we hug
20. What does mommy like most about daddy? Marrying him
21. Where is mommy's favorite place to go? The place they make guacamole
It was so interesting to see how she responded to the questions; how she, in her 4-year-old way, interpreted what I was asking - like 2, 12, 17 and 18. By the way, I don't work at a park but the train station is near the park and she is with me every morning when I am dropped off at the train - that's the only connection I could make! 8 and 16 made me bust out laughing - I can't believe she knew Top Chef was only on Bravo or that she even knew what Bravo was! And some made my heart melt, like 19 and 20. In case you are wondering about 21 - there is a Mexican restaurant in town that makes fantastic guacamole and they do it tableside, so you can watch. She has only been there once but I guess it made an impression!

I'm always amazed at the way those little minds work.
Oh, it's great that you're getting these in writing! I happened to write down some things my nephew did when he was little (he's now 21) and if I hadn't, I would never have remembered them, and they captured so well what he was like then. He's still a great kid - just a lot older, and it's nice to have those little nuggets to remind us of what he was when he was a little guy.
