Several of my friends with kids have been doing interview with their kids, with the intention of repeating the interview each year to see how the answers change. I've been meaning to give it a shot with Ben, and we finally got it done! It is a pretty random set of questions, most stolen from other people's lists, and a few of my own thrown in for fun. Here are the answers, from his 4-and-a-half year old self:)

I almost melted into a puddle so fast I couldn't type this comment!
I love my Benny-Boo!
I know! This is so sweet! I have no idea where he got "Benjamin Garon Schiltz," but that's OK. :) Number 27 and 28 are pretty spectacular - good job Em and Aaron!
He sounds so wise beyond his years! And I know you've always mentioned he was into trains, but there is some solid proof! :) Love it, especially the "keep my love tank full"! So sweet.
great work! might steal a few for next year :)
I was framed! I demand a recount! We don't even WATCH t.v.!!!
WOW! So, clearly you guys get an A+ in the parenting department. Not only does he experience you doing your "jobs" he's able to articulate them incredibly! Not too shabby for a 4.5 year old...
P.S. I found you :)
