My interviewee was Henry! I got the idea to do this from Sally who did an interview with her 3 1/2 year old son. I read through her interview with her little boy and loved the candidness of his responses. I love the way that children think. I wanted to know what Henry would say; how would he respond?
Here's the interview with my sweet 3 1/2 year old boy:
March 3, 2009

I love you.

We can hug William.

Cute idea...I will most likely be copying it from you..but immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Anyways love the answers, I love that kids these age say it how it is, they don't really have a "filter".
What a sweet idea!! I would love to do this with both Henry and Gabriel and see what their answers are as they relate to me. I love the way Henry thinks. Wouldn't you know, Christina, he'd bring up the chocolate chip pancakes somehow in the mix?! Passed down from generation-to-generation - - LOL
Love, Mom
I love the way you are both the same! This is so sweet! Thanks for sharing! I love this idea!
Love, Ruth
LOVED it! His answers were really sophisticated and well-said. Even Nathan, my early talker, got bored around #13 or something but Henry finished strong! I can't wait to do this with Blake when he's 3 and see what comes out. Thanks for sharing your interview!
So cute! Sally tagged me, too, and when I tried it with Gabe, his answers were "I don't know," "I don't know," "I don't know," and then "I'm tired of questions."
We'll have to try it again. :-)
This is such a cute idea. I love reading Henry's answers. So thoughtful.
Wish we were all together today!!
Love you,
Erica
How sweet. Love, love, love Henry's responses. Your facial expressions are to die for. Hilarious!!!!
Okay Mama Mater - I love that answer. I'm going to do this with James when he is a bit older (or maybe it would be fun to see what a 2.5 yr old would say?). How fun.
