Birthday Interview - 20 Questions!

I've read the idea before to interview your child every year on their birthday. Some people go so far as to even record their child's answers on video. I've half-heartedly interviewed Molly(5) before, but had trouble thinking up questions. I think she was a little young, too. This year, however, I finally found an actual list of 20 questions to ask your child each year on Pinterest!

I tweaked a couple of the questions and interviewed Molly on her 5th birthday. Her answers were so sweet and sincere! I thought she might give some silly answers but she took the process very seriously! I plan to print out a nice copy of her answers and include them in her baby book each year. Hopefully I can start asking Ben(2) the same questions once he turns five... or maybe sooner.

My favorite answers of Molly's were her favorite holiday: Mother's Day!! ... and what does she want to be when she grows up? A farmer... except a farmer with penguins on her farm!

Here is the list of questions I used for my child's Birthday Interview:

1. What is your favorite color?

3. What is your favorite fruit?
