I can hardly believe it, but I have a three-year-old! How did this happen so fast? To celebrate, we took a trip down the street to The Happiest Place on Earth (Disney tips post to come). It was a blast and she was in absolute heaven! After we let some of that excitement die down, I sat her down and we had a little toddler interview.
- How old are you now? Three! (proudly holds up three fingers)
- What did we do for your birthday? We went to DISNEYLAND! We were helping Buzz!
- How old is Mommy? Uh, I don’t know.
- How old is Daddy? He’s 6! Oh and Mommy is 7. (We’re both 30)
- How old is your baby sister? She’s 8. (she’s 13 months)
- What is your favorite color? Purple! And red and pink.
- What’s your favorite toy? Moana and Doc McStuffins.
- What is your favorite book? Peppa Pig.
- What is your favorite thing to watch on TV? Daniel Tiger.
- What is your favorite song? Happy and You Know It! And Michael Jackson. All Michael Jackson.
- What is your favorite thing to eat? Spaghetti and meatballs. And green beans are my favorite! And pot pie!
- What is something you don’t like to eat? Pizza that is spicy. Spicy is not a good idea to eat.
- Where is your favorite place to go? To the zoo. And Disneyland!
- What is your favorite animal? A lion. Because they’re nice and quiet. And I just really like lions.
- What makes you sad? Climbing on the table. (Baby Sister’s new favorite hobby)
- What makes you happy? A song. Like lalalalalala!
- What is something you’re very good at? Something I’m good at is eating.
- What do you want to be when you grow up? A superhero! My power will be to catch butterflies!
- What is your favorite part of the day? The part when I go to the park.
- Do you have any questions for Mommy? Yes… My question is when do we go to dance class? (She had a dance performance and was very eager to go)
I could have easily kept going because I’m simply amazed by some of the things she says, but she was ready to go… So that was the end! My heart seriously cannot handle how quickly she’s growing and learning. She has surpassed every developmental expectation I had for three years and I’m so honored to be her mommy! Happy Birthday to my Silly Goose!
This was a fun way to commemorate her life at three and I’ll definitely try to do something similar each year to see how her preferences change. Download my free printable and you can have your own birthday interview with your kids each year!

That is adorable! What a great idea! Everyone should interview their children and save it for when they get older!!
Thanks, Maranda! I hope that I remember to do this every year. I think it’ll be hilarious to read when she’s older!
Michael Jackson?? Moana?? I love this kid! 🙌🏻😂 She speaks my language 🌻 Happy Birthday sweet girl, keep on shinin’!
Thank you so much, Victoria! She is serious about her Michael Jackson music. It’s pretty awesome!
She is too cute! I have to do this with my son, he just turned three last week.
Hi Marcela! Yes, do it! They never say what you expect them to say!
I was so eager to read this and Tiyaanah reminded me that it was up. I LOVE. And to quote Tiyaanah, “adorbs.”
Thank you, sir! You should definitely interview your boys. I can’t wait to see how their responses change each year!
I love her superpower! Fun interview!
Hi Sara! I thought that answer was cute, too!
I love this idea! How fun to do these each year to see what their answers are!! My oldest has said since she was 3 that she will be a vet when she grows up. At age 9 she stills says this. So how cool to see what things will still stick as the kids get older!
Thanks, Kristi! It is really neat seeing how their ideas change (or stay the same) over time. That would be some incredible foresight and focus if your daughter decides to be a vet!
What a cute idea! And I loved reading her answers – especially the one about having superpowers to catch butterflies! I hope she has a great birthday!
Thank you, Chelsae! That was one of my favorite answers!
This is ADORABLE! “Spicy is not a good idea to eat” cracked me up.
Hey Jen! Isn’t that funny? She definitely does not enjoy spicy food!
