The thing that struck me most about doing this wasn’t so much the differences in their answers, though there were many. It was more their attitude to the interview. I still remember doing Boo’s and she was so excited and sat there eager for every question and really thought about them. It took me three days to do Little Man’s as he would only answer so many at a time and kept checking to see if that was the last question! Hmm, different attention spans!
Have you asked your little ones things like this? Did their answers surprise you?
I love that he counted up your body and that you’re 10, that’s so cute. And that you want to be Princess Leia 😀
Oh yes, that was news to me!
