Perry is officially 5 and a half, and is every day turning more and more into a mature big kid and no longer a little boy. Don’t get me wrong he still loves to pretend and imagine, and be a total goof ball sometimes – he is a boy after all. But he is also thoughtful, obedient, and independent.
He is gearing up to start kindergarten and elementary school this fall and is 100% ready. He amazes us every day with his reading, math skills, and general desire to learn anything he can. Perry you are one really great kid…and an absolutely amazing big brother. Happy half birthday P!
Every year on his half birthday we have asked him a consistent set of questions. It has been fun to see how his answers have evolved and changed over time. Without further adieu, here is our interview with 5.5 year old Perry.
What is your name: Perry
How old are you: five
What color is your hair: orangish and blondish
Who are your friends: Hunter, Jack, and Sully
Who is your best friend: (after a long pause and acknowledgement that this is a hard question) Hunter
What is your favorite food: quiche

I must say the answer to that last question makes my heart happy. No matter what he ultimately grows up to be I know he will do amazing things. And I think we are solidly in the STEM category…with previous answers including zookeeper, astronaut, and engineer. 🙂
