The Interview - Part 2


It's hard to believe that Owen is already four years old! The days are long, sometimes interminable, but time has flown and it has been great fun watching Owen develop into a full fledged kid! For his third birthday I conducted an interview, which I repeated last week. Here are his answers.

1. What is your name? Owen

2. How old are you?  Three. Me, "really?" No, Four! 

3. What is your favorite thing to do? Go on airplanes
Yup! True story.

4. What do you want to be when you grow up? A witch. A nice witch.
Same answer as last year? Interesting. 

5. What is your favorite food? Yogurt raisins
Not roasted chicken with veggies? Maybe next year. 

6. Who is your best friend? Sebastian

7. Who makes you laugh? Teddy

8. What is your favorite time of day? Going to school
Perhaps this is where he receives his witch training?

9. What do you like to learn about? Listening to Mommy and Daddy
He has been "learning" a lot about this lately.

10. Where is your favorite place to go? Kidz Kastle
I'm taking this with a grain of salt because we had just been there.

11. What is your favorite book? Truck book
Book we got his for his birthday - Score! 

12. If you had one wish, what would it be? I don't know, more books?
So studious!

Bonus - Four year old questions.

14. What are you afraid of? Witches
He's scared of what he wants to become. Wonder what Freud would say about that one?

15. What are you really good at? Counting 
We count EVERYTHING but seem to always forget the numbers 13 and 16.  

Owen's fourth birthday was a big deal for us. In addition to a visit from Aunt Amy, Owen had a Star Wars birthday extravaganza with his friends. No Star Wars bash would be complete without a Storm Trooper cake - Oy Vey! Let's just say, it's good to be Owen. And it's also pretty good being Owen's Mommy :)

Bravery

For enduring his first haircut, Mitchell gets a gold star for bravery. I was bracing for dramatics but, with truck in hand, Mitch did not shed a single tear. What a big boy!


Here's Mitchell sporting a dapper 'do and enjoying a post-cut lollipop with his big brother.
