The 5 y.o.: I have to make up a timeline about my life for school this week. All the big events that have happened since I was born.
The 9 y.o.: How about your first Christmas?
The 13 y.o.: And your first birthday?
The 5 y.o.: And my second, third, fourth and LAST birthdays too. Yep, that about covers it.
