My Kids

One day I was blog-surfing through Stephanie's myriad of links and found this really fun one, and I stole an idea from it. hehee. The lady had only asked her kids 6 questions; I added a few because it was so fun! Of course, the older they are, the better, because they'll have more independent ideas, but if your kids can talk, ask them these!


Here's how Audrey (5 1/2) answered:

1. Something I do well - "drawing"
2. Something I'd like to improve on - "cartwheels"
3. My favorite food - "miso soup"
4. Three words that best describe me - "That my favorite color is dark teal, I can ride horsies, I have red hair."
5. My happiest moment - "when I'm riding horsies"
6. The most important thing in my life now - "going to school"
7. My favorite movie - "The Last Unicorn"
8. My favorite book - "Spirit"
9. My favorite person in the whole world - "Callie" (new best friend at school)
10. Instead of going to school, I wish I could - "go swimming every day, and I wish the pool never ever closed."
11. My favorite place to go - "the movie theater"
12. My favorite thing to draw - "unicorns and horses"
13. Something I want for Christmas - "My Little Pony Rainbow Castle"
14. My favorite color is - "dark teal, purple and pink"
15. At recess, I like to play - "unicorn club, because I want everyone to know about unicorns"
16. When it's raining, I like to - "read and draw."
17. My favorite animal is - "birds and horses."

Then to the moms or dads: Were you surprised by any of the answers? Not really; Audrey is pretty predictable these days. I didn't know she wished so much that she could do cartwheels. I think it's great that she likes miso soup so much. My kids love Japanese food! I love how she wants to spread the word about unicorns. Today she came home and said she found another girl during PE that believes in unicorns, so tomorrow she's going to try and find her on the playground so she can join the club, too.


Here's how Parker (3 1/2) answered:

1. Something I do well - "playing the computer"
2. Something I'd like to improve on - "climb up a house"
3. My favorite food - "budgunk " (orange juice)
4. Three words that best describe me - "I'm three, I wish I could be a superhero, I have yellow hair, like you Mommy."
5. My happiest moment - "climbing on the monkey bars"
6. The most important thing in my life now - "my family" (this one took some prompting)
7. My favorite movie - "Batman"
8. My favorite book - "Superman books"
9. My favorite person in the whole world - "You" (his mommy, totally unsolicited, promise :) )
10. Instead of going to school, I wish I could - "play the computer"
11. My favorite place to go - "Superhero school" (at the Nasa Space center)
12. My favorite thing to draw - "Superman"
13. Something I want for Christmas - "a glow-in-the-dark Batman"
14. My favorite color is - "dark blue"
15. At recess, I like to play - "the monkey bars"
16. When it's raining, I like to - "play catch"
17. My favorite animal is - "bats"

Then to the moms or dads: Were you surprised by any of the answers? I didn't know that Parker considers his hair blonde, it's more of a goldeny-peachy color, some call it red. I also didn't know that he liked bats; obviously, that's an homage to Batman. Unfortunately, I did know that he LOVES to play the computer. Shame on me for letting him get so good at it!
