Jacob's birthday is right around the corner and I can hardly believe it. I have asked him the same 30 questions each year since his fourth birthday and I plan to do this every year as long as he lets me. I love seeing how his answers change throughout the years and I know it’s something that he will love looking back on one day.
This was the first year
where he pretty much answered every question straightforward. He didn’t have to ask what anything
meant. He didn’t mess around and act
goofy like he has in the past.
My baby is growing up,
y’all.
P.S. It was his idea to take pictures in the tree leaves. Lol.
1.
What is your
favorite toy? “Um… Nerf guns!” (For some reason he hoards Nerf guns yet he
rarely actually plays with them.)
2.
What is your
favorite stuffed animal? “My little
mouse that Stephanie gave me.” (Same
answer as last year! And Stephanie is my
uncle’s girlfriend for those of you who don’t know.)
3.
What is your
favorite game? “Um… The PJ Masks game
that Olivia got for her birthday.” (We
do have this game, but we’ve only played it once as they always choose
something else.)
4.
What is your
favorite sport? “Um… soccer.” (And he’ll be starting his third season this
fall!)
5.
What is your
favorite book? “Do I have a Voltron
book?” Me: “Nope.” Jacob: “My 5,000 Awesome Facts.” (#Truth
This kid reads excerpts from this book every single day!)
6.
What is your
favorite TV show? “Um… Voltron.” (This is also the truth! This boy loves that show!)
7.
What is your
favorite movie? “Ummmm… The Greatest
Showman!” (We watched it with the kids a
couple of months ago and they have been obsessed with it ever since!)
8.
What is your
favorite song? “Song? Um… Batman soundtrack.” (Brian has the Batman soundtrack on his phone
and Jacob requests to listen to it a lot.
It’s instrumental and I love that he loves that genre!)
9.
What is your
favorite band or singer? “Um… Dave
Matthews Band.” (That’s my boy!)
10. What is your favorite holiday? “Ummmm… Christmas!” Olivia: “My
best is Disney World!!” Jacob: “That’s
not a holiday! That’s a place! Your favorite PLACE is Disney World!” (Y’all, I wish you could just be around these
two sometimes. They are a hoot! And I love that Olivia says “best” in place
of “favorite.” <3)
11. What is your favorite season? “Um, summer!”
Me: <Awwww, must be because I’m staying home with them now!> Jacob: “Because we get to go to the
beach!” Me: <Never mind then. Haha.>
12. What is your favorite color? “Um, black.”
Me: “Black?” Jacob: “Yeah, for Georgia
13. What is your favorite animal? “Ummmm… hyena.” (Interesting choice…)
14. What is your favorite shirt? “Ummmm… I don’t know…” Me: “WHAAAAT?!” Jacob: ”Oh, my no-sleeves Spiderman
shirt! I forgot about that!” (Y’all.
This kid has not stopped wearing this shirt for the last six
months. If it’s clean, it’s the first
thing he grabs every. single. time. We
call it his Sunday uniform because he wears it almost every Sunday… and that’s
because it gets washed on Saturday afternoon so the first day it’s available is
Sunday. Haha.)
15. What is your favorite fruit? “Um, lemons and limes!” (Lol.
He’s saying this because that’s his favorite fruity candy flavor.)
16. What is your favorite vegetable? “Brocolli.
Because I don’t like any other vegetables. I only like broccoli a little bit.” (This is pretty much true, although, he will
eat the occasional cooked carrot.)
17. What is your favorite snack? “Um, key lime popsicles.” (I guess he really loved the homemade ones we
made a couple of weeks ago! I did, too!)
18. What is your favorite treat? “Um, treat out of my bucket.” (Well obviously this one’s gonna need an
explanation! Haha. He and Olivia both have tin buckets that they
use for trick-or-treating each Halloween.
They started out just being for Halloween, but then we ended up tossing
Christmas candy in there, followed by Valentine’s Day candy, followed by Easter
candy, and so on… so now the buckets are basically just year-round treat
buckets that hold their candy. If they
behave all day and eat a good dinner they are allowed to select one thing out
of their bucket after dinner for a goody.)
19. What is your favorite drink? “Drink?
Powerade.” (He does love some
Powerade!)
20. What is your favorite thing to eat for dinner? “Mac n cheese.” (I can’t even remember the last time that we
had mac n cheese for dinner… or lunch for that matter, so I have no clue where
this one even came from! I guess I need
to make some!)
21. What is your favorite restaurant? Olivia: “Chipotle?” Jacob: “I think I might like Fazoli’s.” (We’ve totally never even eaten there… I
think he’s only saying that because we just had a new one open near our house
recently.) Me: “You’ve never even eaten
there, Bud! So what is your favorite
restaurant that you’ve actually been to?”
Jacob: “Panera… because cinnamon rolls.”
(Can’t blame him for that one!)
22. Who is your best friend? “Um, Alex and Garrett.”
23. What makes you feel happy? “Um… when you hug me.” (Awwww!!!!)
24. What makes you feel sad? “Um… when Olivia does something mean to
me.” (Poor kid, that means he’s probably
sad for, like, half the day. Haha.)
25. What are you afraid of? “Um, monsters. I’m not
afraid of vampires or ghosts. Or
zombies. Or bats. Or Frankenstein. Or aliens.
Or skeletons.”
26. What are you thankful for? “Um, my family.” Me: “Anything else?” Jacob: “And God and Jesus… and Mary.” (Looks like his priorities have straightened
out since last year. Haha.)
27. What are you really good at? “Um, drawing and writing.”
28. What is your best memory? “Um… I don’t know. Oh, DISNEY WORLD!”
29. What do you want to be when you grow up? “Um… I want to work at Disney World.” Me: “And what do you want to do there?” Jacob: “I want to invent the rides and help
build them.” (Yep, this kid has truly
talked non-stop about being a ride designer for Disney ever since we went there
back in March. I’m not even sure what
kind of degree you would need to do that… engineering? Animation?
Hmmmm…)
30. If you could have one wish, what would it be? “To have the Ultimate Garage!!!!” (He’s referring to the new Hot Wheels Super Ultimate Garage and he’s in luck because – IT’S ALREADY HERE, WRAPPED UP AND
READY TO GO!!)
