Questions.....

Last year I found a list of questions to ask children which seemed so fun. I did it with James (aged 3) and recored it on my other blog (which I have yet to transfer!). I repeated it again this week and thought I would record the answers.

What is your name? James Roy

When is your Birthday? After Christmas (need to teach James this one!)
Who is your Mum? Emma Roy :-)
What does your Mum do during the day? Makes me breakfast and cooks :-)

I think Charlotte Mason would appreciate this means fo understanding the child as a person! It was so insightful and has made me think about books, activities, sharing what Mummy and Daddy do in detail. So often I do not ask what James think. I would like to so this more often.
