Birthday Interview

Today Alivia turned 3. We spent part of the afternoon at the Children's Museum (love that place) and then had pizza and cake for dinner tonight. I also got to scratch an item off of my to do list. A while back I came across the idea of interviewing your child on their birthday. So I compiled a list of questions, set up the video camera, and asked away. It was fun to hear her response to my questions. Honestly I have no idea where she comes up with half of the stuff she comes up with. Hopefully I can remember to do this for many years to come. If this sounds like something you would like to try with your tot here are some questions to get you started (and Alivia's responses just for fun).
