Visit Amy at her blog, Let's Explore, for more fun ways to play and create with your kids!

Well, come to find out, she answered almost all the questions, no matter if her answers boggled my mind, I wrote them down anyway! Wow, what little faith I seem to have in my own daughter. Sometimes I must still see her as "too little". I copied and pasted the questions on Word and typed her answers in red. Saved them under Interview and will pull the questions out for next year. The author stated that she prints them and puts them in a notebook......put that on my To-Do list! Maddy's answers are in red above...Enjoy! Try this with your little ones...it was great fun! Take care!
