Point in Time: Talking with Sen about Favourites

Processed with VSCO with f2 preset

You’d think with my blogging I would have kept better track of milestones with the children, but it seems I’ve mostly talked about other people on this blog. Such is my nature…I’ve always been bad with attention directed my way. In any case, I do want to keep better track of Ro and Sen’s development, and keep snapshots of them at different ages and stages. Not just photo snapshots (goodness I have plenty of those!), but snapshots of their interests, their vocabulary, their quirks and opinions.

So, when I saw a “toddler quiz” posted around on Facebook I thought this would be a fun and easy way to get a little snapshot of the children at one point in time. I’ve decided to use the quiz format for a documented check in with the kids. I won’t always use the same questions — I’d like to incorporate more opinion questions, but for now this is a good start.

Sharing some recent photos of Sen to go with his ‘Point in Time’ check in –> He found a broken fern leaf and said he wanted to wear it on his head. Because: obviously.
