This yearly interview idea by Tried & True extends the baby book idea into the toddler years. Using a "20 Questions" theme, Mama Vanessa asked her son questions about his favorite books, foods and what he wants to be when he grows up. A photo poster and an audio recording captures changes from year to year. For babies, we love the idea of recording tiny giggles to preserve forever!
