About a year ago, there was a “ask your kids these questions” post going around Facebook. I asked my three oldest kids the questions and got some really funny answers. It’s interested to look back and see not only what my kids thought a year ago but also to be reminded of how far Doodle has come with his speech over the past year. (Read last year’s post.)<\/p>\n

I was really excited to see it circulating again so I again asked all my bigger kids the questions (Pipsqueak still has a very limited vocabulary but I’m sure he’ll be ready to join in next year!) Some questions are the same and some are different but it is a great way to see what they are thinking and how they’re viewing and feeling in the world.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
