I asked the twins a series of questions to reflect on their age and personalities. I asked Sophie first, because I knew she would be excited and cooperate. :)
Here are her answers:
Can you tell you your name? S-O-P-H-I-E (she spelled it for me)
How old are you? Shows me four fingers, and decides it's five. After counting, we settle on four.
What is your favorite color? Pink and Purple!
Who is your best friend? Bekka!(No deliberation there...she has decided Bekka is the only friend she needs!)
What is your favorite animal? Butterflies

What is your favorite movie? Care Bears
What is your favorite book? The Barbie and ballerina books
What makes you happy? When I get presents and it's my birthday.
What makes you sad? When I don't get anything.(I really thought she was going to say when Jack is mean to her.)
What is your favorite food? strawberries and kiwis(she loves fruit!)
What is your favorite song? Funny songs
What is your favorite game? Candyland
What is your favorite toy? La-la Loopsy
What do you like to take to bed with you? Loveys and ballerina bear
What do you like to wear? Ballerina Costume and Ballerina Shirt(This girl cries unless I put her in a dress. She tells me people won't know she's pretty unless she wears a dress.)
What is your favorite thing to do at school? Make cubes.(Their teacher taught them to make cubes out of special blocks.)
What is your favorite thing about Daddy? When he plays La-la Loopsy with me.
What is your favorite thing about Mommy? When she makes me yummy food.
What is your favorite thing about Jack? When he doesn't hurt me.(ah...there it is! Not that Jack hurts her a lot!)
Next, I called Jack upstairs. He flipped his lid, and cried and complained about how it was going to take FOREVER to answer the questions, and he didn't want to do it...he's dramatic when he doesn't want to do something!
Here are his answers:
Can you tell me your name? Jack(in that fussy way he says something when he knows he's trapped.)
Can you tell me how old you are? I don't know(he always says this, even though I know he knows!) after talking he figures out it's 4.
What are your favorite colors? Blue and red.
Who is your best friend? Dax
What is your favorite animal? um...What animal is red? I like elephants because they are blue.
What do you want to be when you grow up? A scuva diver.
What is your favorite movie? Cars 2 and Star Wars(I have to add here, that he has not in fact seen Star Wars, but rather, several clips on YouTube that Matt has shown him. He knows it is a more "adult" movie, and that's why I think he gets so excited about it.)
What is your favorite book? Do I have a Cars book? (yes) Then that's it!
What makes you happy? When I get presents.(really? both of them? I need to work on what's really important in life...)
What makes you sad? When I get a time out.

What is your favorite game? The Sorry Cars 2 game I got for my birthday.
What is your favorite toy? Star Wars and Cars 2(Seriously, this kid plays with his Duplos, making "ships" every single day, all day long...so I am interjecting here, that it really is Duplos!)
What do you like to take to bed with you? Toys that don't make noise.(I think he is reciting a rule here, because I won't let them take noisy toys to bed)
What do you like to wear most? Cars 2 clothes.(He loves sweats and comfies, which his Cars outfits are.)
What is your favorite thing about school? Playing with play dough, but I never do, I forget!
What is your favorite thing about Daddy? When he builds me ships.
What is your favorite thing about Mommy? When she plays with me.
What is your favorite thing about Sophie? When she does something nice to me.
These kids are downright goofy...I hope I am able to keep asking them this every year, to see how their answers change!
