An Interview with a Preschooler

Brandon's been talking non-stop since he was about two years old. Every day he seems to add new words to his already vast collection of cute kiddie babble. He can even hold down a conversation. I thought maybe it was time to interview Brandon and get a sense for what he loves most at the tender age of 3 and half years old.

Q: What is your favourite colour?  A: Blue
Q: What is your favourite food? A: Chicken Noodle Soup (I'm highly suspicious of this answer. We happened to have had chicken noodle soup for dinner and he liked it. He also REALLY likes cheese, yogurt, pickles, olives, popcorn, cookies and cupcakes.
Q: Who are your best friends? A: Dakota, Ryan and Abbey (all kids at Linda's day home)
Q: what is your favourite number? A: 3
Q: Who are your favourite animals? A: Finch, Bentley and Kazi
Q: What is your favourite book? A: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Q: What is your favourite movie? A: Transformers and Bolt
Q: What is your favourite Song? A: Buddy-Croak (a song we sing at music class)
Q: What is your favourite car? A: Camero
Q: What are your favourite toys? A: Bumblebee and Optimus
Q: What is your favourite activity to do with Mommy and Daddy? A: making cookies
Q: What is one thing you want to do when you get big? A: Get groceries and drive a Camero

Awesome answers. Not too many surprises there. I think he was being honest :-)
And though Brandon is a very good speaker, not all of his words come out perfectly. Some of my favourites at the moment include:

"smarsh-mellows" - marsh-mellows
"tomorrer" - tomorrow
"ubie" - movie
"skettie" - spaghetti
"amblence" - ambulance

Brandon also has some cute sayings. If something happened last summer, last week, yesterday or even 2 hours earlier, he'll tell you it "happened last night".
Brandon refers to the place I workout as "the Mommy Gym".
If he feels like you're not listening to him he'll say "I'm speaking right now!"
He'll often grab his backpack and a hat and tell you "he's going to work" or "going to class" (cute!)
