Child Interview

Reading Michelle's post the other day about interviewing her kids reminded me of some books that my girls made in Sunday School one year for me. The book is called "Mother's Day Surprise". I (teacher at the time) had certain questions that I asked each student. Then I printed their answers on the computer along with clipart similar to their answers for them to color. Janae was 4.5 years and Britnee would have been almost 7. Every once in a while, we enjoy getting this out and reading it, chuckling at the answers and getting a bit nostalgic remembering how they said it and with what kind of speech and voice inflection.

If I could give you any present in the world, I would give you...
J: glasses
B: a kitchen table

I like it when we...together
J: watch videos
B: play the piano

I feel...when you hug me and tell me you love me.
J: fine
B: very good

I like it when you take me to...
J: the "Peter Rabbit Mall" (Castleton) and Mc Donald's
B: the store

My favorite food that you make for me is...
J: corn on the cob
B: spaghetti

...makes you the best mom in the world!
J: letting me play the computer by myself
B: rubbing my back

When I think of you, I think of your...
J: baby (Kerrigan)
B: smile

I would like you to teach me to...
J: not hit
B: play piano

Awww, those are too precious! So does Brit want you to still teach her how to play the piano? If so, you'd better not let that chance slip away. I figure "if" she gets married at the age I did, you will only have her for 5 more year, ugh!

I love the questions and answers with the kids. I have another set I plan on adding to my blog at some point.

And Janiece!! Talk about making Sara sentimental. Only 5 years!!

I know, I shouldn't have done that to her, but if Brit is really interested in her Mama teaching her piano, she'd better get started : )

Awe that's a neat idea. (Interview) they will enjoy looking at that in years to come. And you will too :-)
