birthday interview: two years old

Welcome to birthday interview number two!

(a glance back at the first one)

little miss lovely

This year we answered it together.

Well, I asked her the questions...
and she giggled a lot,
gave me a few cautious answers,
 and looked at me like I was a very strange
mommy to be asking her these things.

Halfway through she was done
and ran off to play with her toys.
Figures...she is only two!

I can't wait until she can do the whole "interview"
herself. At which point, she will probably still
think it is strange that I am asking her questions
and/or have no time for it.

Here's hoping, though.

Without further ado,
birthday interview # 2...

then my answers for her)
