Memories are the best gift you can give your children.
I often sit and day-dream about the girls when they are grown up, coming home for a weekend or christmas to their family home, and listening to them reminiscing about all they things we did together while they were growing up.
I want to give them a childhood they will be proud to remember.
We have decided to ask the girls a set of questions every year on their birthdays. I plan to turn these, along with photos and memories of each year of their life, into a book for their 18th birthday. A snapshot of their childhood they can keep forever.
Here is the first installment – Scarlett Aged 4
1. What is your favourite colour? Purple
2. Who is your best friend? Issy and Mana (Pre-school friends)
3. What is your favourite film? Flushed Away
4. Where is the best place you have been since your last birthday? School
5. Who is your favourite teacher? Mrs Battersby
6. What do you want to be when you grow up? Maybe a doctor
7. What is your favourite song? Dance With Me – Olly Murrs
8. Where in the world you would most like to go on holiday? Disneyland Florida
9. What is your favourite book? Room On The Broom
10. Who is the funniest person you know? Daddy
11. What is your favourite food? Spag Bol
12. What do you like to have in your bed at night? Ra-Ra Dog
13. What is your favourite game to play? Snakes and Ladders
14. What is the funniest joke you know? Where do fish keep their money? In a river bank
15. What is your favourite animal? Pig and Sheep
I cannot wait to see how the answers to these birthday questions change over the years to come.
Raising children is so much fun!
