ReplyDeleteWell said Bron - thanks for visiting.
DeleteVery cute :-) I think I might try this with my 3 year old.
ReplyDeleteYou totally should Sarah! And then write a blog post and share it so I can read it! :)
DeleteI do an interview with each of my kids on their birthdays and the answers are always amusing!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great idea Claire!
DeleteAre the questions the same every year Claire?
DeleteThey are Jo, it is amazing to watch their answers evolve! Here they are (hope you don't mind Lauren) - http://lifeonwallace.com/2015/07/22/a-birthday-conversation-with-master-3/
