from the mouths of babes.
So this sweet little interview has been floating around fellow photographers' blogs, and on Facebook. I took a few minutes the other morning to interview my 4-year-old about me. And I was delighted... horrified... and bursting with pride at his answers to my questions. I challenge you to interview your children about yourselves, do this little exercise at home. Keep it and put it in their baby book. :) You'll find out a whole lot about your kids' perspectives and how they think.
Here's what my Parker had to say about me....
1. How would you describe Mama? huh?? um, i don't know about that.
2. What makes me happy? i do things the way you like 'em.
3. What makes me sad? when i don't do the things that you want me to do.
4. What is something I always say to you? keep on tryin'! (my heart started to melt right here.)
5. What makes me laugh? telling you funny jokes!

21. What do you think I like most about Daddy? because he's so handsome. (hmm, i think parker must have had a quick chat with daddy before this little interview, don't you?)
22. Where is my favorite place to go? um, Hooters? me: uh, no honey... that's daddy's favorite place. *snort* skyline chili?? no, darlin' that's YOURS. ok.... to the park!
23. What's your favorite thing about me? because i love you. *sweet smile*
24. If you could change one thing about me, what would you change? your lips to my lips... kissing me! (and this is where i forgave him for the Hooters comment and saying i am 50 years old, and my heart just melted into an enormous puddle on the floor.)
