I dropped the ball. BIG time. Whoops. I completely forgot to do Milla's 'Birthday Interview' in Nov last year. Too busy I guess. Then Harris' birthday rolled around a couple of weeks ago and, again, I forgot the 'Birthday Interview'!!
Then last night the kids were talking about some memories they have from when they were littler and it reminded me of these interviews so I grabbed the chance and did both Milla's 11th and Harris' 10th Birthday Interviews then and there..... Not sure how the questions would differ from the ones I would have got if I had remembered to do them on their actual days but - better than nothing!
So without waiting any longer.....

10 is a big milestone and one we let the kids have a special party or celebration for. So a few weeks before his birthday I asked Harris who he would like to invite to a party. He quickly gave me two names - his two best mates - then was struggling to find more names. Se we decided rather than have a party with a large group of mates how about we do something super special with just his two best buddies. We threw around a few ideas until Harris decided on going to iFly Indoor Skydiving!!
None of the boys had ever done it before and and three of them had a BALL and came home buzzing!!
I have now put a calendar reminder in my phone for both birthdays from now on to try and remember to do these interviews on their days.... lets see if that helps!!
