Fun questions

Each week I receive an e-mail from National Center for Biblical Parenting (they are FULL of great resources). Well, today I received another parenting tip and it prompted me to ask my kids some important questions. You can go to their website to see their plethora of parenting resources and to receive a weekly e-mail tip http://www.biblicalparenting.org/ . Good stuff! Anyway, enjoy the kid's responses.

What is your favorite food?

Ally: "I don't have a favorite food. I only have a favorite fruit and veggetable." Her favorite veggie is brocolli and her favorite fruit is canteloupe. I guess that healthy stuff isn't really food.

Jaxson: "Chocolate Chip COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS"

Parker: "Hot Dogs!"

What is your favorite color?

Ally: "I don't have a favorite color. Oh wait, pink. No, not pink....light pink."

Jaxson: "Orange and blue! GO GATORS (in a loud voice)."

Parker: "Blue because it's just a neat color and it's also for the gators."

Who is your favorite friend? (okay, now this made me really sad)

Ally: "Libby! I miss her." (They haven't seen each other in 2 years).

Jaxson: "Federico." (He was the son of my tutor in Costa Rica. They haven't even spoken in almost a year.)

Parker: "Thomas." (This was his best friend in Language school. It's been almost a year since they have had contact.) These answers just made me sad because I desire for them to have deeper connections with kids here.

And then they all added......."Caleb, Lukey and Elijah!" Now that makes me happy since they live here in Peru and are all super sweet.

What's your favorite thing to do?

Ally: "Puzzles. But only hard ones. Not baby ones. It's a good activity."

Jaxson: "My favorite thing to do is paint."

Parker: "I enjoy play-mobil and playing the computer."

I enjoyed asking these questions and the answers they solicited. Some of the answers surprised me. Avery was taking a nap or else I would've asked her too.
