Eli's PPI

Jacob's parents gave him a personal interview every year. I thought that was a great idea. I also felt this year Eli would really be able to answer the questions and enjoy it, so I started the same tradition in our family. As our children get older the questions will adapt however for now these are great questions for his age and a fun way to remember him at 4.

Eli had so much fun with this activity. He kept asking me to ask him more questions.I even added a few more because we were having so much fun. It made me realize I need to ask him more questions during the day so that he knows how much I love him and so I really know this sweet boy I am so lucky to have. I did not help him with any of the answers so  few of them I know are not correct but I didn't want to mess it up.
The first question that was a little off was #1 it is a true answer now. However since he knew his colors he as been obsessed with the color blue. Then all the sudden one day we came home from Hawaii and his colors were black and grey. It really threw Jacob off.
#3 This one could be true but I am not sure. If you cut the green part off the strawberry he doesn't eat it. It actually kind of freaks.
#8 could be true he eats them, but never asks for them. I think he was currently enjoying rasins at church or something and wanted more. I know his favorite snack is an Apple because he is always grabbing one when he can get his hands on one.
#9 I highly doubt his favorite animal is a deer. I don't even know why he would say that. I would think it would be something more scary or big like a Tiger.
#13 Now Eli really does like water, but I am sure he like a lot of juices and sodas over water. I couldn't pick a favorite but he sure loves icees from QT
#18 This I wouldn't have to say is totally false. I never make pancakes. He never asks for them and he never orders them when we go out. I know he loves eggs. Scrambled or exploding he loves them and would eat them pretty much any day.
#19 I don't think Eli has put much thought into this one. I don't know why he said this or why he came to him mind, but I am sure he thought it sounded like a cool job to have.

Eli also went to the Dr to get his shots for school. When I got there they said I could wait because I was holding him back, but since I already talked it up I figured lets just get this over with. He tried really hard to be brave and he did a good job and had a great attitude, but after the first shot he lost it. I basically had to hold him down for the next two. The poor guy freaked!!

Eli's 4 year old stats are...
