Lucas is the greatest big brother a girl could ask for, he’s smart, curious and is completely obsessed with Super Heroes, Lego and Star Wars at the moment and just started playing soccer.
He’s also cheeky, stubborn, a master negotiator, especially when it comes to screen time, and I often wonder if his ears are full of wax. He’s all boy and he’s owned my heart since the moment I found out I was pregnant with him.
I first asked Lucas these questions when he was 2 1/2 and planned to do it every year, but you know, life got in the way, so the next interview was when he turned 4 and now he’s almost 6! Eek.
I loved recording his responses.
1. What is your favorite color? Red
2. What is your favorite toy? Lego
3. What is your favorite fruit? Pineapple
4. What is your favorite TV show? Star Wars Rebels and The Voice
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? Pasta – we have recently learned the best way to take warm meals to school!
6. What is your favorite outfit? Swim suit
7. What is your favorite game? Junior Monopoly
8. What is your favorite snack? Cliff Crunch bars – chocolate chip
9. What is your favorite animal? Penguins and cats
10. What is your favorite song? Anything by Taylor Swift and Fireworks by Katy Perry
11. What is your favorite book? 5-Minute Marvel Stories
12. Who is your best friend? Aydin, Brayden, Kingston, Isadora, Katherine and Jackson
13. What is your favorite cereal? Fruit Loops (a weekend only treat)
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside? Play soccer
15. What is your favorite drink? Good 2 Grow V-blend Tropical Fruit Medley
16. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas
17. What do you like to take to bed with you at night? Lovey and mounds of books
18. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? Donuts!
19. What do you want for dinner on your birthday? Cake – Vanilla with vanilla frosting
20. What do you want to be when you grow up? A national video game player (a guy who knows how to play every video game in the world)
Being Lucas, he had a few questions he wanted to add:
21. What is your favorite movie? Clone Wars
22. What is your favorite subject at school? Science
23. What is your favorite thing to do with Mom? Jump on the trampoline
24. What is your favorite thing to do with Dad? Go on bike rides
25. What is your favorite thing to do with Lola? Jump on the trampoline
I love this exercise and how much Lucas’s tastes have both changed and stayed the same over the years.
Is there anything that you do with your child(ren) each year to show their growth? If so, I’d love to hear about it.
My past two interviews can be found here: 20 Questions (November 2011) and 20 Questions, 22 Months Later – Update (September 2013).

Oh, I love these questions! It would be so interesting to go back and look at them over time. I know that I would probably drop the ball on the annual tradition, but just to have snapshots of the answers over time would be so special.
Having a tradition is one thing, keeping up with it is something else entirely!
When I left my son’s father, I had to decide very quickly what went with us and what just could not, and A LOT of special things got left behind. The computer, much less the internet had not even been conceived of, yet; I was just trying to stay alive so keeping that kind of a diary just was not happening. His babybook is chalk full and to this day I add to it. I am so sad that so much resides ONLY in my head and heart. Seeing this makes me so happy and I will do differently with my grand babies (God willing).
Just beautiful as usual, Tonya.

Thanks, Darya! I’m grateful for the Internet and this space for that very reason… I don’t think I could fit anymore in my head. (:
“Anything by Taylor Swift”! Man, this kid cracks me up! I can totally picture him saying that and all these other answers!
When did pineapple become his favorite fruit? I’ve never seen him eat it.. Too bad I can’t join him in eating that. 🙁
Isn’t he so silly?! I don’t know where the pineapple response came from either. I rarely buy them.
what is the answer to question 25 ?
I love this by the way, it will be so fun to go back and read in 20 years .
Good catch. I have gone back and added his response to that question which is “jumping on the trampoline”.
What a great way to see their progression!
It’s fun and I think he enjoys it as much as I do!
