Favourite Things...

I was thinking today about Byron’s favourite things. Seeing as he is a conversationalist, I decided to ask him what they are...These were his responses when I queried him:

Favourite book – "We’re Going on a Bear Hunt" (by Michael Rosen & Helen Oxenbury). He noted that he has that book at kindy too. For the record, Byron loves all books. He will sit and read with you for hours if he could. He particularly likes his LeapFrog LittleTouch and can play with it all by himself!

Favourite song – Ba Ba Blacksheep. He has been singing this nursery rhyme for a good year now. From memory it was the first song he could sing all the way through. There is this bit he adds at the end, which we have never heard... "thank you said the master, thank you said the dame and thank you said the little boy who lives down the lane"...huh????. I think it must be a kindy thing????

Favourite TV Show – Bananas in Pyjamas. This was the first real show that he liked to watch on TV; that is, the first show he would sit and watch for more then 5 mintues. It is still up there at the top – most annoyingly so to us.

Favourite Movie – "Buzz" (Toy Story). The new favourite! Before Buzz, Nemo was the favourite.

Favourite Colour – Purple...changes all the time...I asked him this question three times and got three different answers – purple, brown and blue.

Favourite Food - "cherry pies" WTF??? (I would have to say chocolate)

Best Friend – I asked him who he liked the most and he said me!!!

As for other favourite things; I have observed that his favourite:

Thing – would be his “mankie” - blue blankie with a bunny on top.

Fruit – green grapes

Drink – ‘cold’ water

Toy – we can’t answer this definitively. You see, Byron is not really a ‘toy’ kid. As strange as that sounds, it’s true. He has many toys but doesn’t seem to be too interested in them. When he was younger he was the same. He does play with toys, particularly blocks, puzzles, Duplo lego, Thomas trains; but his attention is not directed to them for long periods and he usually only plays with them when prompted. In an attempt to answer this question, I guess I would say puzzles (if books don’t count).
