So I read somewhere online about interviewing your kids as they grow. What a great idea! I made up a few questions (21), got out the video recorder and gave it a go. As I cannot get my camcorder to connect to my computer I transcribed it for your reading pleasure. Please know that I will from now on be doing this once a year, it was hilarious and fun. I also found it to be a great form of milestones for me :)
So as I started this interview they were both sitting in chairs right next to each other. I had to ask Jenni the question first or she would just say whatever Grace says.
