Yesterday was Lily's birthday. In lieu of a babybook, I ask the
following the following 20 questions to my birthday girl (starting with the
third birthday). You can see last year’s answers here. So, this afternoon while doing
a ABC dot-to-dot, I asked the following questions:
- What is your favorite color: pink
- What is your favorite
toy: our
dollhouse
- What is your favorite
fruit: avocado and bananas
- What is your favorite movie: Cinderella,
Peter Pan, Inside Out, Frozen
- What is your favorite thing to
wear: dresses
- What is your favorite animal: a
moose
- What is your favorite
song: “Happy
Birthday to You” (Note: This has
been a favorite in the past month or so as she has been celebrating many friends’
birthdays, plus her own. But, really rather than a song she has been
obsessed with listening to the Stories Podcast.)
- What is your favorite book: Sophia
the Second (Note: She received this as a birthday present yesterday, which
means that we have read it approximately 15 times in the past 24 hours.)
- Who is your best friend: Simone,
Karly and Daisy
- What is your favorite
breakfast: daddy's pancakes (Note: this tradition started during my
marathon training. Daddy makes pancakes on Saturday morning while I go on
my long run. As a child who thrives on routine, this cannot be deviated
from and I am okay with that.)
- What is your favorite lunch:
peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
- What is your favorite dinner:
pizza with pineapple (on Friday nights we make pizza and watch a movie
together as a family. Basically, it's our favorite night of the
week).
- What is your favorite snack: a
smoothie
- What is your favorite dessert:
ice cream cake
- What do you sleep with at
night: my rainbow
brite/starlight pillow pet
- What is your favorite thing to
play outside: to climb trees (Note: she currently has a broken arm,
and this has made her a bit grumpy that she cannot climb the tree out front for another couple of weeks. Second Note: She did not break her arm tree climbing.)
- What do you want for your
birthday dinner: hamburgers and french
fries with ketchup sauce (Note: and
it was a success!!)
- What do you want to be when you
grow-up: a famous ballerina space
artist
- Where is your favorite place to
go: to Lake Tahoe!
- What is your favorite game: hide
and go seek and Rainbow Brite (Note: basically an ongoing elaborate game of pretend and dress up)
Yesterday in your Thanksgiving/Christmas/Birthday dress at your surprise Frozen Tea Party with a couple of your favorite friends. You planned the entire party for me, including the surprise. You even practiced your surprise face several days before. It was basically the cutest thing ever.
