A 5 year old conversation with James

Another September has come around so it's time for the yearly conversation with James. I was surprised that a few answers were the same as last year but most were different. The last question was the one that made me laugh and smile the most. I love this kid!

I love this picture of James from the ball park this summer (although it looks like winter with the long sleeves and hot chocolate!)
