Interview with The Kids

I am definitely someone who gets my best ideas from Pinterest. That is, once I get around to implementing them, which I do every now and then. I have been wanting to do an interview with the kids on their birthdays ever since I saw the idea, which was a couple of years ago now. Birthdays have passed, the kids are getting older, and I am forgetting everything. Ok not everything, but you know how things go! So I thought to myself, there is no time like the present. Why can't I do an interview now, with all of the kids at the same time, on no one's birthday? Well I can, and I did. This is how it went.
Maria is 6, Felicity is 4, and William is 18 months.

Since William's answer to all of the above questions was merely a grunt, I thought I'd go with some more age appropriate ones:

favourite food: this one is a toss up since he loves most anything, but I'm going to go with watermelon

favourite toy: his truck that he loads with his little cars, or a ball

favourite activity: playing ball with Daddy

favourite outfit: just a diaper, with his flip flops on and sunglasses on his head. He's got style.

favourite words (or only words....): "wa wa" (water) "ba" (ball) "mamma" (everything) "grunt" (so many different meanings!) "Mo!" (more) "chssssss" (cheese) "Dada" (Daddy) "high pitched scream" (any animal) "Baba" (bye) "da" (down) "rara" (Felicity/Maria)

favourite thing to get into: the snack cupboard

favourite thing to help Mommy with: unloading the dishwasher

favourite moment of the day: when Daddy comes home, he screams in delight and runs, laughing to hug him
