You can be good at some things and you can not be good at some things.

There are times when I look at my 4-year-old daughter and wonder what is going through her head.

Sometimes, when upset or confused by something she has done, I ask, "What were you thinking?"

I decided to get some perspective by interviewing her. I think I should make a habit of this. I'll include my 7-year-old too. Maybe I'll have her write her own post sometime.

She is a morning person, I am not. She wakes me up with her friends :)

Tell me about yourself.
Well, I really like screen time and I'm always hungry and thirsty.

What do you do?
Well, I love to go to Park Day. Also, my name is Lydia. In case you put it on Facebook, people might not know my name.

What are you looking forward to?
Getting more allowance.

What are your strengths? (I had to explain that this meant things she is good at)
I'm good at doing somersaults. I'm also good at going potty.

What are your weaknesses?
I'm not good at doing a cartwheel. I can only do it like this. Miss Molly taught me. (demonstrates an attempted cartwheel).

What do you love?
I love bird cats. Fairy mermaid magic princesses.

What scares you?
Tarantulas.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I'm going to be an artist painter. Are those the same thing?

Who do you think should be president?
Whoever the president is. I've never met the president. I think Mommy should make all the rules.

What makes a good leader?
Mommy makes a good leader of the Homeschooling School. She tells everyone to do the right things.

What is the most important thing?
I think God and Jesus because they're the most powerfullest.

Where do you want to be?
In the jungle with my family.

Why do people get married?
Because then they have children and can be together.

Why do people have kids?
Because they just have kids when they get married.

When should people get married and have kids?
Whenever it's morning because then everyone's awake and comes to the wedding day.

What's it like to be 4?
You can be good at some things and you can not be good at some things.

What is Dad's job?
To be at work.

What is Mom's job?
To be a writer.


I was surprised with how she answered that last one. I thought she would say that my job is to take care of her, or be the teacher, or something. It makes me feel warm that she thinks my job is to be a writer. I wouldn't want to let her down. I will continue. 

This post is part of the 30 Day Challenge.
