Interview with 4-Year-Old Nora

A few weeks ago (around the time of Nora's 4th birthday), we were sitting around the kitchen table coloring.  I have read on several peoples' blogs where they interview their children on their birthday each year, asking similar questions each year, and record what the kids say.  It is always so interesting and cute to hear what the birthday boy or girl has to say, so I thought I would start that tradition with my kiddos too!  So, borrowing some questions from some friends, here is my interview with 4-year-old Nora:
