Clara what’s your favorite…
Color – Blue
Animal – “Like bees? Are you going to ask me about bugs? … Yeah? Then cats are my favorite animal.”
Bug- Bees!!! (Who would have guess it?)
Food – Pizza
Clothes – “I don’t really know, fancy clothes?” Me: “Are they your favorite?” Clara: “No, Lola’s.” (Much discussion followed and I discovered that Lola’s fancy clothes are Clara’s favorite clothes to wear.)
Dog – Trip and Rosie
Cat – “It used to be Fiona but now it’s Gypsy.” (Poor Fiona has been gone for just over a year now.)
Person – You and Dad
Thing to do – Play at the waterpark when I go to Wisconsin Dells with Lola. ( You might not know this yet, but everything eventually comes back to her best friend Lola. Everything.)
Thing to do inside – Play with cats.
Chore – Baby ducks and baby geese. Me: “How come.” Clara: “That they are fuzzy.” (Can’t argue, fuzzy baby birds are the best.)
Time of day – The afternoon. Me: “How come?” Clara: “Because you don’t have to do chores and you don’t have to eat dinner.” Me: “You don’t like eating dinner?” Clara: “Yeah, it’s weird I like lunch more cause I usually have tiny lunches.” (It’s good she has a reason… right?)
Place to go – Wisconsin Dells with Lola.
Song – My songs know what you did in the dark – Fall Out Boys
Flower – I don’t know. But my least favorite kind of flower is thistles. (And see there is an answer to a question I never even thought to ask!)
Farm Animal – Horses. Or bunnies. Do you know what my favorite kind of horse is? Me: “No.” Clara: “The kind that, um, um, I might have… One of these, I don’t remember what kind I think it’s a tinker.” (So the question is, Clara, do you know your favorite kind of horse?)
Thing about school – You don’t have to do chores.
Friend – Lola (Surprise!)
Movie – Bernstein Bears (that’s a movie?) but at school my favorite video is Olivia.
Thing to do with Ivy – Play fairy gardens.
Thing to do with Jane – Play dress up.
Thing to do with Dad – Help him coil up the rope. (Old wire fence, fun right? Right…)
Thing to do with Me – Gardening
Book – Bees. The one where you can see the mite close up on a bee. (Because she knows her bees and her bee parasites!)
Meal – Dinner (Wait, I thought diner was weird?)
Thing to do in the car – Color
What do you want to do when you grown up? You know… be a bee keeper! (It’s true, I did know.)
Anything else? –
Bookmark- Bee bookmark
Tree- Apple
Favorite kind of apple – Golden Delicious
“Oh for flowers I remembered what it was. Petunia. NO apple blossom.”
LEGOS- Elf
(Good thing I asked!)
Looking back:
Clara’s Favorites at Five Years Old
Clara’s Favorites at Four Years Old
You must be so proud of Clara, I know I would be…
I am! 🙂
What a wonderful post. Be sure to print and save. She’ll want to look back at this and smile her pretty smile!
Her answers are always the best aren’t they? 🙂
So precious! Good thing you have this record for her to remember. She’ll thank you for this. 😊
But probably not until she’s *much* older! 😉
What a cutie! Maybe she’ll be a bee expert when she gets big, but let’s hope she stays small for a while longer.
A friend and I are giving a talk on bees at our library, I should probably have Clara do my part, she could teach everyone all sorts of things! 🙂
As for “coiling rope” we have lots of fun here! Visit more!
Will George be as fun to “coil rope” as John will? If he’s up for the challenge I’ll send you a fence pick-er-uper! 😉
