Every year I ask the boys the same questions about their Dad. Each year we present our interview to my husband on Father's day. It's been so cute to track their answers and see how they've changed each year. I've been doing this since my oldest was able to talk, so you can only imagine some of the answer we've received. I try to be very serious, and not guide my kids or make suggestions. I simply write exactly what they say to fill in the blanks.
My husband hasn't actually changed too much over the years, but my boys have. It's interesting to see their personalities and unique viewpoints come through with these questions. I also make sure I do this one on one, so they don't influence each others answers.
For those of you interested in sharing our tradition, here's a list of questions I use to give you an idea. I normally have them draw a picture at the bottom of the page as well.
