An Interview with the Boy - 3 1/2

I asked Jack these questions last year , and it's crazy what a difference a year has made in his speech/communication.  I tried to do this yesterday when he actually turned 3 1/2, but life happened and an iPad screen got cracked and a momma nearly cried.  So.  We did it today before his nap.  I videoed this time, and at just under 4 minutes, I think you can see a glimpse of the character of a boy we have on our hands and in our hearts.  Enjoy 💚

He's very smart, and he understands so much, but he's still not as verbal as most children his age. That being said, I still wanted to attempt this because it's such a great idea and such a wonderful way of keeping track of "the little things."  I looked through and jotted down questions from many, many sources on Pinterest, and I decided that these 15 would do.
