interview with James




Q: Tell us about some of your favorite things.
A: I LOVE letters--looking at them and yelling them out loud.  Mom and Dad think I might be one of those spelling bee kids in about 10 years.  I love videos, especially They Might Be Giants and Sing Yourself Silly.   I also like to run everywhere--walking is so boring.  I like to give kisses and make really big messes with my toys.  And I love to play outside, especially on the swings and slides at the neighbors'!  My favorite foods are milk, yogurt, cheese, apple sauce, apple juice and treats (read: Oreos, cake, lollipops, Peeps).   My favorite song is MMMbop, but I also appreciate a good Beyonce dance tune.  

Q: And how about your least favorite things?
A: I don't like when Daddy yells at me or when Abby takes my toys.  I really don't like anyone touching my toes.  I don't like being told to be still and quiet, so Church really isn't my favorite place.  My least favorite thing is probably coming in from outside.  

Q: Tell us about some of your newest skills.
A: I can identify every letter of the alphabet by looking at them and I am pretty close to being able to say my ABCs.  I can spell my name (although if you ask me what my name is I will always say "Abby").  I can climb up the steps at the playground  and go down the slides all by myself, which seems to make Mommy pretty happy--I don't think she likes getting up there with me.  I know lots of animal sounds now and I don't say "baa" for everything.  Just today I figured out how to do a zerbert on Daddy's tummy--fun stuff.

Q: What has been your biggest accomplishment?
A: I figured out how to walk down the steps all by myself and I taught myself how to jump after weeks of intense training on the family room floor.  

Q: Are you excited about the new baby coming?
A: I don't really understand what is going on but I like babies and I know there is one in mommy's belly.  I kiss it every day.  Mommy and Daddy asked my opinion on baby names and my suggestions were: Daddy, Boobah, and Apple Juice.  All pretty creative, I think, but they seemed to think they were funny.  Better than Abby's lame-o suggestion of "Abby-2", anyway.

That's all for now....talk to you all later.  -James

Nice interview. James, you are very talented. Are your parents finding out if you'll be having a brother or sister before the baby is born?
