What Kids Know Tag

Last tag. I told my friend I didn't want to know my kids' answers, so she tagged me in her comments. I asked the kids as they woke up so they didn't know each other's answers (except the youngest two). Please note that we are in the midst of nighttime wars, making them all sleep in their bed at night (this has been hard on the youngest two and the last few nights have been pretty tough battles). That helps make some of the answers make sense. Also, if you can't tell, Matthew is in the parrot stage. Answers are listed oldest to youngest.

  1. So, Ryan's answers were mostly on track, I thought. Ethan is your soft hearted boy. Kirsti...random. Elise were to be expected (I would have thought she'd say something else for the first one, but it makes sense if bedtime has been a big deal lately). Joseph love answer was pretty cute. Anyway, fun to read.

  3. ha ha...I dont think my kids ever see me eat so I doubt they would get that one as dead on as your kids. Loved Ethans answers Holy Cow can he get any more sweet? I could picture all your kids saying those things.

  5. What a fun tag to read! I love how it captures each child's personality. I may have to try that post someday...

  6. That is cute! Joseph's answer to your "How do you know I love you" question was sweet. Isn't it nice when they're young-they're still so forgiving of you. You know they know you love them but what matters more to them is that they love you!
