Dislikes: Getting in trouble [stern voice, harsh glare, time out, anything similar], being told no, being comforted after she hurts herself, before requesting said comforting.
Likes: playing with her sister, petting the dogs, swinging, throwing rocks, sitting in her high chair, waking up at midnight and watching television shows on my computer with me, stealing swigs of my soda when I’m not paying attention.

I did this survey for her on my MySpace blog last year, and the year before that I wrote her birth story. Both are private entries, so if you’re interested you’ll have to friend me. Reading her birth story is the only way to understand the significance of this song [and the title of the post]:
