Birthday ‘view
Boo’s 4th birthday is tomorrow. How the hell did that happen?!
If you’re obsessed with use Pinterest at all, you know it’s not short on ideas to celebrate/commemorate/never ever forget your kid at any given moment in time.
Ever.
Like now.
Right now.
Because every moment of your kid’s life is memorable, don’t ya know? For better or for worse, right? Oh wait, that’s something else. (For the record, that didn’t even make it into my marriage vows. Define worse, would you please?)
Aside: If you’re unfamiliar with Pinterest and you’re +/- 10 years from my age, let me be the first to welcome you from out under your rock. It’s a whole new world out there, chock full of ways to improve every aspect of your life by creating a virtual one while making you feel like you’re not doing enough in your real one. It’s also fun. Did you follow all that?
Anyway, I did find (more like saw pinned a thousand times) a cute birthday interview I figured I’d try out, because if nothing else, my kid is pretty friggin’ hilarious sometimes and I love capturing his words. I also love that I could conduct the same interview two days later and his answers would be entirely different. Here goes! (His words are bolded; mine are italicized)

What is your favorite game? Cat in the Hat
What is your favorite toy? helicopters Huh?!
Who is your best friend? I don’t have any best friends. Highly selective; he’s holding out. Who is this kid?

So there you have it — capturing a moment in time. And some cuteness too. Happy 4th birthday, baby boy.
