Birthday Interview

I finally got around to doing Ian's four-year-old birthday interview today. Kids this age are rather predictable in that their answers tend to be focused on what has happened very . For example, Ian very rarely eats Trix cereal. I can say without any hesitation that Cocoa Puffs is his favorite cereal, but  he hasn't had it lately. He happened to have Trix this morning, and I think that's why he said it was his favorite. He actually hasn't been eating cereal lately because he doesn't like having to use a spoon now that I am putting milk in his cereal. Most of the time he has an English muffin or bagel. Goulash is definitely NOT his favorite food, but he saw me cooking that this afternoon for our dinner tonight. I wish he liked it! His favorite foods (not including desserts) would be grilled cheese sandwiches, peanut and butter jelly sandwiches, pizza, waffles, and pancakes. We've also had a lot of snow lately, which is why many of the answers had something to do with snow. I would concur that the Little Critter books are his favorite. I would have guessed that answer correctly. I was thinking he'd say Friendly's was his favorite restaurant, but I wasn't surprised with the McDonald's answer because he loves playing in the play land there. I would say his top three restaurants are Friendly's, Perkins, and McDonald's. I have NO idea why he said the tv makes me happy. The only tv I watch is football, and that hasn't made me very happy this year as both of our teams have done very poorly. I do 100% agree with him though that tickling him makes him laugh! I was actually relieved when he said he didn't know how old I was because another time he told me I was 61 years old! Milk is definitely his favorite drink, his new pirate ship that his grandparents gave him on Sunday is certainly his favorite toy at the moment, and he does love when I give him airplane rides! I was very surprised at his answer of "Peter" regarding his favorite Bible story. I would have guessed he would say either Joshua at Jericho or David and Goliath.  The thing he said made him sad was last night when Daddy took some of his toys in the basement because he wouldn't eat his dinner. My favorite answer by FAR was that Nadia is his best friend. I hope and pray they are close friends for the rest of their lives.

Here is his third birthday interview, and here is Nadia's fourth birthday interview for comparison.

P.S. I really, really wish I had cleaned up the room before I did the video as the toys on the floor are seen in the reflection on the fireplace glass. Oh well. Our house often has the "lived in" look with three kids age five and under spending almost all their time here each day. :)
