I saw on a blog (what a surprise!) a tradition that a woman does with her children. Every year around New Years she asks them the same questions, then she also has them draw a self-portrait on the paper. I decided to start it with Cooper, using her questions. Some are a little beyond him but I thought it would be fun to ask him the questions anyway and see how much he changed next year.
Cooper's Favorites:
color: green
tv show: Lightening McQueen and Curious George
Holiday: Christmas (I gave him two choices since I knew he wouldn't know what this was!)
Cereal: baby cereal (I have been feeding Jackson baby cereal so I think Cooper thought this was funny to say)
Vegetable: food. (then I gave him choices of vegetables and he said corn)
Drink: juice
Toy: squirt gun, choo choo train, mommy
Game: Mickey Mouse (we have a Mickey memory game, I guess this is what he's referring to??)
Book: Curious George and his friends, choo choo train, and Lightening McQueen book
Restaurant: Subway
Animal: G (his stuffed giraffe)
Then here are the questions:
If you could change your name, what would you choose? "Curious George" (can you tell he really likes him right now?)
What do you love about mommy? "I love you" (then I asked WHY do you love me ? He said "Cause I love you")
What do you love about daddy? "Daddy love mama. I love daddy."
What do you love about Jackson? "Jackson my favorite."
What do you love about Lily? "Lily my favorite too."
Who is your best friend? Ben!
Where would you like to go on vacation this year? "To Curious George" (I asked where does he live) "At the house"]
What are some of your wishes for this year? "Curious George. Christmas"
So funny. Does anyone have any other ideas for questions to add to this? I am drawing a blank but I'm sure there are a few more I could add. Thanks!

That is a great idea. I will have to try that next year (since mine couldn't answer right now). If I think of questions I will let you know.
Funny, I have been trying to come up with questions for Sam for the last week to start a birthday interview! I think I have a friend who does this with her kids I will see if I can find the questions on her blog and send your way!
We love curious george in our house too!!!
So cute, Jessica! I'm going to have to try this with Will!
Love it! What a great way to track his changes over the years. He'll certainly look back and laugh at his answers as he gets older. :) A creative idea!
I did one a few months back with Jane. I think I copied the questions from Laura maybe? I will have to check and see what they were...
I love this idea though!! I might redo Jane's or ask her some new questions because I think their answers are always so funny. I love Cooper's answers- especially why do you love daddy, because daddy loves mommy- so sweet!
