An Interview with Bentley

I read online that every January you "should" conduct a interview with your child. Mine are a little young, but I figured I'd start Bentley out with a few basic questions:

#1: What is your favorite food?

"Rice, broccoli, and noodles and waffles."

Hmmm... apparently I need to reiterate that favorite means one. He's going crazy here!

#2: What is your favorite color?

"Orange. No, not orange. Purple!"

#3: What is your favorite type of animal?

"Orange animals."

I tried to coax something more specific out of him, but he was pretty firm on his answer. :-)

#4: What is your favorite toy?

"My tractor!"

I have a feeling this is simply because five minutes ago he was playing with the tractor and he's still holding it? Nearness has a strong influence on fondness!

#5: What is your favorite book?

"A coloring book."

Hmmm - oddness. I take pride in the fact that my child owns no coloring books. (It's all about teaching them to draw with their imagination and not just draw in the lines, you know! At least, that is, according to one of the few parenting type books I've actually read from front to back!). Oddness!

:-)

And there it is. An interview with an almost 3 year old.

And for the record?

#6: What's your name?

"Bentley!!"

#7: How old are you?

"4. No 8. No no. 2!"

Whew. He got it right, it just took him a few seconds to settle on!
