Mom: Josie, what is different about being 8?
Josie: I only feel different. I look the same.
Mom: What do you want to be when you're a grown-up?
Josie: I want to be an artist.
Mom: Why?
Josie: Because I'm good at painting.
Mom: Do you like having 4 brothers?
Josie: NO!
Mom: You answered that fast!
Josie: Did you put exclamation marks after my answer?
Mom: Yes. Why don't you like your brothers?
Josie: They're annoying. And, weird.
Mom: You don't think you're ever annoying. Or weird?
Josie: NO! Make sure you get exclamation marks on that answer too.
Mom: Ok, moving on. What is your favorite movie?
Josie: The Barbie movie Grammie got me.
Mom: Favorite food that mom makes for you?
Josie: Mac and cheese with hotdogs.
Mom: Yeah, that is gourmet. What is one thing you hope to do this year, while you're 8?
Josie: Go to Disneyland again.
Mom: You may need to think of something else...
Josie: Go camping? Yeah, I'd like to go camping again. And, pack all my clothes this time.
Mom: Josie, I love you!
Josie: (silly smile) I love you too!

Awww, Happy Birthday to your big 8 year old! Natalie just turned 8 the end of November, and is it just me, or does 8 suddenly seem really close to - say - 13?! Especially when it comes to the random emotional breakdowns. Seriously. But what I love about this age? She's finally getting old enough that actual conversations work better than other discipline (most of the time - when she's not an emotional wreck - so... some of the time).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love that you do interviews for their birthdays! I might have to start that! :)
