I kinda feel like it’s been “The Little G” show around here lately so I thought I would give The B Man some equal time. Because he’s pretty darn cute himself you know…

A few weeks ago I gave him the little interview that’s gone around many a blog in the last few weeks and here are his replies (with my commentary in parentheses):

What is something that Mommy says to you a lot? NO (very true.)

What makes mom happy? Gavie (a nickname for his brother)

What makes mom sad? When I yell

What does Mom do to make you laugh? Say “don’t laugh” (and then tickle him and then it makes him laugh)

What was I like as a child? A little kid

How tall is Mom? Taller than a great blue heron (what?)

What’s Mom’s favorite thing to do? Clean up (uh….no, sorry mister, you’re wrong on that one!)

What does Mom do when you’re not around? Play hide and seek (also, no)

What is mom really good at? He first said “that’s a tricky one” Then… “good at spotting birds” (HUH???)

If I become famous what will it be for? For being a celebrity

How do you know Mom loves you? You give me a hug and a kiss!

What am I not very good at? Getting good hiding places (I’m sensing a Hide And Seek theme here…)

What is my favorite food? Bananas, mango, zucchini, oranges, grapes (mango? where did that come from?)

What makes you proud of Mom? For cleaning very good (apparently our house is very clean… yeah, you just keep thinkin’ that!)

If mom were a cartoon who would she be? Tom and Jerry

What do Mom and you do together? Play hide and seek (there it is again!)

How are we the same? We are all equal in God’s eyes (no lie…so sweet!)

How are you and Mom different? No one looks the same

Where’s mom’s favorite place to go? The grocery store! (That’s a bold-faced lie right there!)

I took him to the doctor for his 5 yr check up last week and despite some allergy issues, he’s a healthy little dude. He’s finally moved into the 25% for height and weight so he may not be THE smallest kid after all. (He’s always usually only been 10% or a little lower.)

We also attended Kindergarten Round-up together last week and after we came home that afternoon he just kept saying “Kindergarten Round-up was AWESOME!” I hope he still feels that way in a few months and that I’m the only one with tears in my eyes that first day… It’ll be here before we know it!

  2. I loved his interview. I’m also preparing for the big Kindergarten event. I’m thinking it’s going to be really hard not to tear up especially for the last kid.

  3. You like to clean too?! Kids are so perceptive. And yes, I will be one big sobbing mess when it is time to take Sophie to Kindergarten : (.

  4. I loved this little survey! I was giggling the entire time my kids were answering questions!

    Love the “equal in God’s eyes” how precious is that?!

  6. I love hearing what kids think, so innocent.
    My little guy grew into the 25th percentile too on his 4 year check up…..I was delighted!!
    Why is that? We never worry at this age what percentile we are. As long as they are happy and growing, why is that number so important to me?

  8. so cute Elaine! Cheers to he 25% precentile! Evelyn finally reached it at her 2.5 check up last week. I was SOOO happy. She has always been small.

  13. HI there, I saw your reply on Daily Mish Mash.. (I’m Jenn(ifer) and it was my “hot picks” of the day.) I just wanted to say HI because you’re awesome! U like Zach Braff & Garden State. You’re cool in my book! HAHA

  14. I loved reading this! He’s such a cute little doll.

    And yes, you will probably tear up when he starts Kindergarten…I know I did.

  15. What a guy that Ben! I laughed out loud at the grocery store one! Bold faced lie for sure 😉

    They love Kindergarten and even grade one…then the work begins and the love diminishes. Then you start with the “I don’t want to go to school.” Only 10 more years of that to go!

  17. I love the answers! His answers had me laughing! It’s funny that he thinks just because you clean, cook, & grocery shop that you must love them too. Gives you an insight to the inner working of a child’s mind!

    Great post!

  18. This is the coolest little questionnaire! I can’t wait till Jackson is old enough for me to do something like this with him!

    B-man is a cutie!

  23. Love this interview and some of his answers were so cute! I just love how kids think we like to clean up and go grocery shopping.

  24. too cute! are you tom or jerry??? funny. oh and i was thinking your favorite place to go was Big Lots! 😉

    Kirstyn loved her kinder round up too. i hope she still feels the same way when she realizes that she has to go every. single. day!

  28. He’s so sweet, Elaine! Five is such a fun age, so full of wonder and love! I love that he thinks your favorite thing is to go to the grocery store. Where do they get these skewed thoughts from? HA!

    If it makes you feel any better, Mia is not even in a percentile. She’s way below the line on both. I’m pretty sure she’s going to be a munchkin all her life. Good thing she’s really cute!
