but-it's-not-my-birthday birthday interviews

I've seen these kid questionnaires a lot recently, usually set up as a birthday interview. I liked the idea, but the thought of committing to do it every year seemed overwhelming.  And I didn't want to wait until Ryan's birthday in September to start. And if I do something, I like to do it right, and I didn't know what to do about the fact that I wouldn't be starting Ryan's interviews until he was six. So I decided that doing them sporadically here and there was better than nothing at all. This way I can do them whenever I choose without the pressure or worry of forgetting a year and not doing it just right. I guess what I'm saying is if it can't be perfect, I'd rather it be fun and spontaneous! [I imagine if you are into psychology and whatnot, that last sentence is probably an accurate description of my outlook on life :)]

So here are Ryan and Abby’s first official questionnaires. Enjoy!
