How do your kids see you?
On one of the messageboards I am on, someone posted a great list of questions to ask your kids about you. This came from a magazine, Simple Scrapbooks, and I hope to eventually put this onto a page for each of their scrapbooks.
Isak’s answers:
1. Something I always says to you? “‘No bad words!’”
2. What makes me happy? “When I snuggle with you.”
3. What makes me sad? “When I don’t listen to what you say.”
4. How do I make you laugh? “Tickle me.”

8. What is my favorite thing to do? “Play with me.”
9. What do I do when you are at School? “Go to work.”
10. What would I be famous for? (What am I REALLY good at?) “Building Lincoln Log houses!”

12. What do I do for my job? “Work so you get money. Be good and listen.”

19. How do you know I love you? “Because you have a heart and you like me when I do good things.”
20. How long have Mom & Dad known each other? “30 weeks.” (this was actually very close to Anja’s answer! And I asked them each when the other wasn’t around, so I know his answers weren’t affected by hers.)

These are so cute! I’ll have to remember to do something like that.

Very cute answers! I’m going to copy your list and ask my kiddos! On the questions “What am I not good at” I first thought that your kid had answered “thinking”! lol.
Jen
Very cute. I asked Kayla these questions. She thinks I’m 18 and when I asked how long daddy and I have known eachother she raised her eyebrows and said “uh, that’s been QUITE a long time, I think”. Kids are funny.
niki
So very cute! My kids are taking the ” test” next.
How fun!
I can just see your little ones sitting there thinking and grinning
BTW, Mara is convinced that she is seeing Anja today.. lol
Dad
You perhaps are not able to ‘draw’, however, I believe you are an artist, just the same. You draw wonderful illustrations, which many of your readers would concur. And you are an artist with a camera. And with website design.
I’d be a little concerned that Anja doesn’t think you are good at thinking
