Mommy & ME

I saw this idea on Becky's blog (a fabulous blog I ran across last week.) You print out the questionnaire that can be found in this post. When you find a quiet moment in your day, set your camera to the self-timer mode and call your child to join you. Make them feel like a celebrity and tell your child that you want to ask them some questions.  Fill out word for word what your child's responses are. Do the "Mommy & Me" interview at least once a year and keep the filled out interview papers somewhere special. It was really fun for me to do this with Tyler this morning. Tyler could hear the camera beeping (the self-timer mode counting down to take the picture) and just had to look at the camera.

And here are Tyler's responses to the interview questions:

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world.  It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”
