An Interview with an exteremely BUSY 3 Year old.

I didn't realize a distinct difference in the female, male aspect of my children until Rainier was around 18 months old are so, and each day the spectrum of similarities are more and more evident. He is busy, is he SO busy, and crazy topped with a bit obnoxious if you must know. He's also extremely cute, and funny and handsome, topped with a lot of spoiled, what am I going to do with him?

Here is a short interview with my boy, it only took me close to an hour to complete it with him, he gets distracted, destructive and hungry fairly easily.

Mom: What's your name?

Rainier: Rainier (slight drawl on the "ier" part)

Mom: Rainier what?

Rainier: Ugh I don't know.
(mom turns off tv for more participation)
Rainier: Hey MOMmmmm, mommy, it stopped!
Mom:I know it's so you can answer my questions.
Rainier: NO! (then rolls over, and throws his back on the ottoman, whining begins)
Mom:What's your favorite color?
Rainier: Blue! (all whiney)
Mom:How old are you?
Rainier:(shouts) 3.
Mom: Whose your best friend?

Rainier, Adeline, and Holland

Rainier: (shout) Adeline!
Mom: What about Holland is she your best friend?

Holland and Rainier

Rainier: YEeeeeessssss!

Mom:What are the names of some of your other friends?
Rainier:I don't know. (pretty much the response I usually get from every question I ask Rainier)

Rulan and Rainier

Mom:What about Tate and Talley, and Rulan?
Rainier: Yes.....

Tate, Taley and Rainier

Mom:Ok Rainier, come here lets finish these questions.
Rainier: NOooooo.
Mom: Why?
Rainier: Because I don't like questions.

Mom:Whats your blankets name?
Rainier: DEEDEE
Mom:Why is it named DeeDee
Rainier:I don't know.

Mom:What's your favorite toy?
Rainier:Batman.


Mom:Where do you live?
Rainier:Piksburg

Mom:Where are we moving?
Rainier:Chicago.
(He is very excited about getting a big truck and putting our house on top of it and moving to Grammy & GPs)
Mom:Whose your favorite?
Rainier:Ainsley
Rainier: What's that sound up there?
Mom: Alli and Claire playing.
Rainier: They're fighting, probably playing and fighting!
(He quickly rushes upstairs)
I take that as a sign that the interview is done.



A few weeks ago Rainier asked Thomas if he wanted a nipple twister, got to love my 12 year old for teaching him that.

The other day we were at Sam's Club shopping and Thomas and I couldn't find Rainier anywhere, we were quickly covering the aisles saying his name over and over again. After about a good 5 minutes I finally spotted Rainier wedged between an endcap and the end of a shelf, laughing hysterically.

Favorite fight words with Thomas: "Blue Power Ranger, HA!" Said as he charges Thomas.

I was down in the basement the other day (it's mostly for storage and laundry) and a mouse scurried across the floor, it startled me and I quickly yelled to Thomas to come down. The mouse stopped dead in his tracks and did not move. Thomas came down with Rainier following close by. I'm not sure what I expected but Thomas grabbed a broom and immediately hit it. I yelped, and Thomas quickly hit it again. I hadn't expected that one either but figured Thomas had better put the poor mouse out of his misery and so he had to smack it again.  All to the dismay of our poor 3 year old who was so happy to see a new creature to inspect. He sobbed and sobbed for a good 10 minutes, and then we had to explain why we killed the mouse and also why he shouldn't hurt other creatures.
