ethan's 5 year birthday interview

Every year, I do a birthday interview with Ethan and then print the responses to place in a binder. I plan to do this every year to see his responses change over time. This year, we added a couple more questions to the mix to try to preserve more of Ethan at 5. (Five. I still can't believe it. I refuse to believe it.)
