JAMES' 20 QUESTIONS: 2012, AGE 3

I saw an idea recently to ask your child the same 20 questions every year, starting at age 3, to see how their likes and dislikes change over the years. Of course, I couldn't wait to do this with James, since he always has an answer for everything. Even if it's just "Whatever" or "I don't know", and he always says EVERYTHING is his favorite!

Granted, some of these answers are weird (for example, while we know he loves pizza, his answers of pizza and water are actually more likely due to the fact that he was having pizza and water as we asked him the questions over dinner), but it's still interesting, and it makes us wonder just how much truth is behind them. I especially hope his answer to #17 came from his heart.

So here we go, James Henry at age 3 (April 2012), answers recorded verbatim:
