Liam: Yes I have. I have when I was born. What's the skunk's name?
Mom: Pepe Le Pew.
Liam: P...Pep....Peppy...Yeah. That's a hard name to say!
I used a list of questions I found on the internet, and that was where it ended. He really enjoyed the process and watching me jot down his words, although I'm not sure I got the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in his answers! I wish I had asked him what he liked about himself, but didn't think of it at the time. I'll ask him in the morning over his birthday pancakes! My baby is turning FOUR!
