I
finally got around to writing this up! My tradition is to “interview”
the kids every year to see how they have grown and matured. The fun
part is reading to them (After they answer each question) what they
said last year. They love it! You can see their old answers here
for Ayla and here for Taylor. I
soon discovered I had to ask Ayla things first or she would just
repeat what her sister said. She has discovered the joys of the
echo game...
I
tried as much as possible to write things just as they were said.
