The Five Interview

by Leslie

Today is Julia’s 5th birthday. And since I can’t seem to complete the sappy, weepy post I’d been working on, I thought I’d capture the moment with an interview with my birthday girl over breakfast.

Julia, what do you like most about yourself?

I like…hmmm…I like being five and, I don’t know, being myself.

What might you like to be when you grow up?

A princess or a firefighter.

What is your favorite thing to do?

Dress up and be like a princess.

What’s your favorite food?

Strawberries.

What’s your favorite song?

That’s a tough one. There’s so many favorite songs I like! Well, you know, Love Is A Battlefied. That one. Burning For You and Run Runaway. Those are the songs I’m telling you.

What was the best thing about being four?

Going to preschool.

What new things will you do now that you are five?

Go to Kindergarten and play with my new five birthday presents. And I’ll go to college soon.

What can you do really well?

Sing. I’m really good at singing.

What makes you feel proud?

Just being myself.

What makes you happy?

That I’m five. I just like being five. Being five feels really kind of good.

Doesn’t it, though?

And… er, in terms of college, how soon?

She expects to go to college after Kindergarten. Also, to drive when she’s 51.

I think the concept of time is something she hasn’t fully grapsed just yet.

Wow. Don’t lose ANY of that love for yourself, Julia, because once you get to middle school, there are sometimes mean girls who don’t know how to appreciate happy, pretty, smart girls like you! Happy 5!

I hope she does keep that love for herself. Some of us spend most of our lives learning how to do just that!

I often tell her, and I truly believe, she can do anything she wants to do. She’s incredible!

How sweet! She’s amazing, this girl! And going to college soon? Ouch. That had to hurt.
Happy Birthday, Julia!

She’s told me, “I’m going to college tomorrow.” Maybe it isn’t actually tomorrow, but when the day comes, it will probably feel like it went that fast.

“Julia, what do you like most about yourself?

Wouldn’t the world be a much better place if we all had this sort of self contentment?

Happy Birthday, Julia!

She is sweet. For her birthday, she asked me for her own laptop, so she can write a blog like me.
