Kids are so cool.   

I took the opportunity to ask my daughter some questions at bath time a little while ago, attempting to get inside her super active brain.  It was fun.  I encourage you to ask your own kids some direct questions. 

How often do kids get asked questions about what they like and what they do?  I would hate for the only memories of me asking H questions are the kind that suck.  Like, Where were you?  Who were you with?  Why didn't you call me?

So, it may be silly, but I am proactively laying some ground work.  Let's talk about it!  Whatever IT is!

Mom:  Hey Harp, can I ask you some questions about things you like? 
H:  I love jumping!

Mom: Awesome!  What do you like about jumping?
H: I like jumping really high high in the air and then more jumping!

Mom:  Can you tell me your favorite food?
H:  I love Ice Cream!  With sprinkles!  And I like to make birthday cakes!  I love birthday cakes and donuts! 

Mom:  What is your favorite thing to do outside?
H:  I love watering the flowers.  See?  I'm watering the flowers!  (proceeds to water her bathtub bubbles.)
Mom: Are there other things you like to do outside?
H: (casually) I like to go to the park and slide and play with the sprayer, and the park by the library?  I like the park and the library. 

Mom: What is your favorite toy?
H: Ummm....(whispers) playing with my race car toys and I make them go (shouting) fast, fast, fast!

Mom:  What is your favorite color?
H: Pink!
Mom:  What was your favorite color before that?
H: Purple
Mom: What was your favorite color before that?
H: Blue! 

H: Pink makes me happy, purple makes me angry, and blue makes me sad. 
Mom: What do you feel sad about?

H: I feel sad missing my daddy, but then I go to school, and I miss him at school. 

Mom: What's your favorite thing about daddy?
H: When we snuggle! 

Mom: Last question, what is your favorite book?
H: The put-the-baby-to-bed book.  It shows all the babies going to bed!  And they have teddy bears!

Mom:  Thanks Harp!  I love you.
H:  I love you too mommy.  Let's water the flowers some more!
