Clayton’s 6 Year Old Interview

 Clayton's 6 Year Old Interview

Clayton turned 6 last week, and we completed his 6 year old interview!

Three years ago when Clayton turned 3 years old he got to take his first "birthday interview."  With each of the children I have started asking them the same 20 questions on their birthday each year starting at age three, and it is so fun to see how the answers change each year.  Now the big three kids love for me to read their old interviews to them and laugh about the answers they gave at younger ages.  So, here are Clayton's questions and responses to his birthday interview at age six, and I've included the answers from age 5,4, and 3 too so we can see how his preferences have changed or not.
