I'm not saying which is true or not... but did anything surprise you?
Which was your favourite answer?
If you do this with your kids, let me know so I can come read :)
PS thanks for all the great comments on the car rental post... I'm very close to a resolution. Will blog more when it's sorted.
PPS Do you have any questions for Julia?

This is really cute. I like how your dates really are close to Connor's heart.
ReplyDeleteVery very cute - obviously Connor loves his mommy dates. And I love the "How tall question's answers.
ReplyDeleteI love the "what makes me happy" and "what makes me sad" answers...so similar from both and I assume spot on! I'm thinking my Ethan is a bit too young to ask these questions at 4 but I may just give it a try :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this is so much. And when K is older, this is so going to be a thing I do with him. Connor and quality time is all kinds of adorable.
ReplyDeleteOooh, a question for Julia she might laugh at: Dear Julia, How do I not smack my classmates upside the head when they fail to recognise their privilege?
DeleteLoved this!
ReplyDeleteI think Kendra is right - you are a stabiliser... you keep people around you grounded and stable.
A stabiliser and not running fast hahahahahah! Lolling for days!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do this with the girls for my birthday! I love C's "go on a date" answers! :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love...
ReplyDeleteLOVED reading this. Mmmm....a stabiliser? That's someone who makes all the things STABLE. That's who you are in her world. I think it's a fantastic compliment.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the answers
ReplyDeleteA stabilizer is an equipment you plug your electrical equipments into so it is not affected by surges in power!
2 and 13 cm! Your kids must think mommy is very short
And they are both technically right on the age depending on how you do the counting! Mommy is still 41 but in her 42nd year
