It’s another addition of Kids Behind the Blog, where we ask our kids questions to see how they answer.
I have to tell you, I love looking back at at past posts to see how much Annabelle has grown in her speech. It wasn’t long ago that every answer was “I don’t know”. Now, well, some answers are like a stream of consciousness. Read on to find out…
I haven’t done our “Christmas” photo shoot yet (Annabelle had eye surgery to correct her strambismus, and her eye is still red, and Autumn recently got sick, so cooperating for photos isn’t happening. Hopefully this weekend. If you want some tips, you can check out my post from last year here). I figured I’d share a picture from last year (before I switched over to A Sprinkle of Joy).
Without further ado, the questions!
Which reindeer is your favorite?
Annabelle: Santa’s reindeer
Me: Yes, but which one?
Annabelle: I’ll pick one out when he comes. Then I’ll get some toys for Christmas too, right?
What do you want for Christmas?
Annabelle: Toys and some stickers
Me: What kind of toys?
Annabelle: I don’t know. I’m pretty sure Santa will bring some cat toys.
What would you do if you caught Santa at your house?
Annabelle: I don’t know.
Me: What if you saw Santa, would you ask him anything?
Annabelle: I’d ask “do you have any toys?”
What if Santa got stuck in your chimney?
Annabelle: I don’t know. What do you think?
Me: Would you help him?
Annabelle: Yeah, I would push him outside, because I think he wants to go out. His buttons would go pop. I would say “push”, and I’d say “opps Santa’s stuck”.
So, one of Annabelle’s favorite books is Santa’s Stuck. Santa gets stuck in the chimney and all the animals in the house have to push him out while the reindeer pull. Annabelle thinks its wildly funny.
Do you want it to snow on Christmas?
Annabelle: Yeah, because we might play ouside and then “do you want to build a snowman” (sung to the tune from Do you Want to Build a Snowman from Frozen).
Have you been naughty or nice this year?
Nice. But I hit Autumn. Santa knows but he will still bring toys because I’m not going to hit my sister.
So, the other day I was going to the bathroom (with the door open cause, you know #noprivacy, when I watch Annabelle just walk up to Autumn and hit her in the face. I was flabbergasted to say the least. Autumn was just sitting there! I sent Annabelle right to her room so I could compose myself (and you know, finishing using the bathroom). We talked about how hitting is not ok, and when I asked why she did it, Annabelle replied “I thought you were upstairs”. #facepalm We took away TV for the night, and I’m hoping we can nip it in the bud.
If Santa asked you to fly his sleigh for you would you?
yeah. Maybe Santa would drive too with me. Tell me where I’m going. He would say “you’re going to someone’s house, and I’d say “weee”.
What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Annabelle: I don’t…. umm… the one we watched yesterday.
Me: You mean Veggie Tales?
Annabelle: Yeah! Veggie Tales the Christmas ones, because there were no bad guys.
If you could change the color of Rudolf’s nose, what color would it be?
Pink, b/c I like pink.
Sing me one Christmas carol
Annabelle: I don’t know.
Me: What about Frosty?
Annabelle: I don’t know.
Me: Rudolf?
Annabelle: I don’t know.
Me: Santa is coming to Town?
Annabelle: I. Don’t. Know!
Me: Ok, Ok..
