I love to play around on Pinterest and once in awhile I even try things! I came across some discussion questions to ask your children. I've done this with Kingston before and we had such a great time. This time over the course of several weeks Alfred and I took turns asking him these on the way to school, on the way home, when we were cuddeling on the couch. A few were obviosuly above his head but it opened up a door for some wonderful discussions and even better questions!
• What do you like to dream about?
Fairytales where you turn people into monsters or Mickey Mouse
• What is your best memory this school year?
Water Day (As he shakes his head in pure excitement)
• Who is your hero? Why?
Daddy because he fixes all kinds of stuff and I help him (right after they got finished fixing the toilet kit)

Mommy like flowers, Laney likes to lick and smell people, Daddy hugs me and Bex cuddles me
• If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
I would be a monster or a Super Hero
• What are you most proud of yourself for?
