Interview of a Three-year-old



I found this in my darling cousin Eliza's blog and thought it was as great way to document the thought patterns and insight of a small child. I called Tyson over to the computer and asked him the following:

What is your favorite color? "I want red."

What is your favorite thing to eat? At first he was stuck on colors and wanted blue, but then told me "Lunch".

What animal do you like? "Giraffes" (they seem to be popular as that is what Eliza's Peter liked as well)

What song do you like to sing? "ABCs"

Where do you want to go on a mission? "the temple"

What is your favorite sport? "........(silence)........" okay, maybe you do take after me.....

What do you want to be when you get bigger? "Dad"

Where do you want to live? " a house on top of the temple". interesting....very very interesting

Who loves you? "GJ"

That's my mom, in case that didn't make sense. Mom, Tyson knows you love him. Then he made it very clear he was done with the conversation when he scampered out of the room.



Post Script: Tyson is also very into tea parties right now. He sets up the whole thing and calls me in. We drink pretend tea, very properly, using our pleases and thank yous and pour it for one another.

He loves to watch The Aristocats as well as Mary Poppins (thanks Brit). He walks around the house singing "just a spoonful of sugar....medicine goes down"

He puts his snow-boots on at every chance and was majorly bummed yesterday when the rain wasn't snow. Wish I could say the same......

His go-to book at night time are the David books. He gets a kick out of other boys in trouble. Vicarious fun I suppose.

Tyson is a cutie.

He will be a great dad someday and right now he is such a darling little boy. And I love that you guys have tea parties. Peter's big thing right now is board games... he mostly just likes to empty the boxes and then move the pieces around, not much actually playing yet.

I am so happy that Tyson knows that GJ loves him. Must be from all those "long" phone conversations. Thanks for giving us a little peek into Tyson's world. Tell him to come and visit GJ if he wants snow!!!!!

He is one vivacious child! I absolutely want to squeeze him every time I see him! How can you ever say no to him Jess? Or do you?:)
