My older son turned 4 this past weekend! I’m still blown away by the fact that four years have passed since I became a mother. Seriously, where does the time go? Parenthood is such a wild ride full of love, laughter, questions, anxiety, learning, excitement, craziness, hugs and slobbery kisses from little people.
Over the past year, my son has formed some strong opinions, like and dislikes. I thought it would be fun to ask him a few questions, and he loved being interviewed (he wanted me to ask him more and more questions but eventually gave up in search of food. whew.). Some of his answers were so predictable, others were totally unexpected and I couldn’t help but laugh. Here they are, straight from the mouth and mind of my 4-year-old boy during his birthday interview:
- favorite color: blue
- favorite toy: fire truck
- favorite thing about his brother: when he pees in the potty, when he is nice to me and when he wears underpants
- favorite tv show or movie: curious george at the zoo
- favorite food: gold fish and pretzels
- favorite outfit: superman + batman shirts
- favorite sport: baseball
- place he wants to visit for vacation: maine
- favorite animal: monkey
- favorite song: alle meine entchen
- favorite book: fire truck book
- best friend: william, bobby, jillian, claire, niko
- favorite cereal: puffs
- favorite drink: orange juice
- favorite thing to do with friends: play
- what his father does at work: work, come home
- something he’s really good at: swinging on the swing
- favorite ice cream flavor: chocolate
- biggest hero: batman
- what he wants to be when he grows up: a worker man [=construction worker] to drive the dump truck
Happy birthday to my sweet and wild child. I love him more than words can say.
