Recall memory...

So I have a 4 yr old preschooler who is school much of the day. When I pick her up, I like to ask her some basic questions about her day.
In the beginning she seemed to like to tell me a few things but now I have noticed she will repeat her answers from the previous day. For example what did you eat for a snack? She will say a bagel and then today when I ask she will say a bagel again but I know they had applesauce. Then I say hmm, are you sure it was a bagel because I think I had seen applesauce. She will reply oh yeah we did have applesauce.
I guess I'm just wondering if she has a poor memory recall or does not want to talk about her school day. Does your preschooler remember the day?

    I bet she remembers exactly what she had she is just bored with the questions. I see kids do it all the time.

    Try to ask specific things about the day like "what did you play with in the sand box?" or "what did you see on the nature walk?" e

    DD always answers "I don't know". If I say did you play with Paige or Caitlin she then says something specific "I played with Paige and Alex". I found specific questions help. But she never remembers food.

    The other parents and I joke that our kids took a fight club oath when it comes to preschool. "What happens at preschool, stays at preschool". My DD never expanded on details of her day until I started asking more targeted questions. I would look at the c

    Just not wanting to talk about it.  With my now 5 year old, I have her tell me one special thing about her day.  I don't ask a lot of questions but as soon as she sees me or once in the car, she will tell me 1 thing she did that day.  I
