I saw this interview over at Jessie's blog and I loved it so much I thought I would do it with my boys. I think is a great way to catch a glimpse of this age, from their point of view. And hopefully, I will remember to do it each year. So here you are, an interview with Bug, age 10, and Monkey, age 6.

Monkey: Play Mario Kart (the kid might be obsessed.)
My favorite part of each day - Bug: Dinner
Monkey: Snow! Ball! Fight! (Said just like that! and making it sound like we have one each day)
My favorite drink - Bug: Capri Sun
Monkey: Root beer
My favorite sport/activity - Bug: Baseball, I guess
Monkey: Football
Something new I'd like to learn/do this year - Bug: I don't know.
Monkey: Touch fish, because we've never gone fishing before.
Doing these questions was so much fun, even though getting answers from Bug was almost like pulling teeth. He kept asking why I was asking these questions, who came up with these questions, that he was having second thoughts about doing them. Monkey was very excited to answer all the questions.
I'm excited to see how the answers change over the years, assuming that I can even get them to answer at all next year.
I love that you did this too, it really was so fun to hear their answers. I love the way that sometimes your boys fed off of each others answers, and sometimes their answers were completely different. I'm looking forward to seeing how the answers change with time, though like you, I can't help but wonder when they'll be too cool or too old for this sort of thing. And we totally understand video game obsession over here...
