An interview with a toddler
We took a few minutes to sit down with 2 1/2-year-old Tara Vika, a US citizen for 6 months, and ask her some questions about her new life, her views of the world, and her new friends.
Q:What's your name?
A: Tara! (pointing to chest)
Q: Who lives at your house with you?
A: Mama! Daddy, Austin! Kitty-Kitty!
Q: How does it feel to be an American?
A: Yeah!
Q: Do you like your pre-school?
A: Yeah! Talia! Loris! (friend, teacher) She's nice.
Q: Who do you like on TV?
A: Barney. Dora.
Q: Do you like to go to the park?
A: Yeah. I swing. I like it. Fun.
Q: Can you tie your shoes yet?
A: I can't do that.
Q: Can you get dressed by yourself?
A: Yeah. I do that.
Q: What toys do you like to play with?
A: Book! I like it. Draw. Cut. I like it.
Q: You are a pretty little girl...
A: I know.
Q: How do you know?
A: I can SEE me!
Q: How can you see yourself?
A: Mirror!

Those were very smart answers by Tara. She is very responsive and really knows she is pretty. Growing up fast. Does so much by herself. She loves her family. Gammy is very proud of Tara.

I am enjoying your blog so much! I'm especially glad to see Tara adjusting so well to her new life in this country. I hope my daughter-to-be will have the same experience!
