Back to school is 
right around the corner. Around the corner in less than five days. My girl will 
be starting Pre K this year. I have an issue with time. It really goes way too 
damn fast. If I think about it too much I seriously start freaking out about how 
fast it goes. I cannot believe my baby is not a baby anymore.  I recently videotaped an 
interview with her, but couldn't figure out how to load the video so here is her four year old perception of life. I 
would love to do this with her at the beginning of every school and do it with 
Kenz when she gets older. 
Me:Tell everyone who 
you are.
Hi, I’m Averi. I 
have a little sister named Nakenzi and I want to have a baby brother. 
Mom: How many kids 
will that be?
Averi: Three and 
then daddy will be like meany mommy.
Mom: Having kids 
makes mommy mean? (I guess according to Daddy.)
What were your 
favorite things about this summer?
Averi: I love to go 
to Disney Junior and see all kinds of princesses and stuff. 
Mom: Watch Disney 
Junior? What else?
Averi: Going to 
Nanas. I love to play at my house. Addi Rae came to my house at 
spring.
Mom: Addi came this 
summer with who?
Averi: Nene, Papa, 
and everyone else.  
Mom:  What else?
Averi: Eating cerel 
and stuff.
Mom: Okay, what 
else?
Averi: Mrytle Beach 
and the Aquarium.
Mom: Did you like 
the aquarium.
Averi: Yeah, we saw 
fish, sharks and mermaids!
 What is your 
favorite things to do with daddy?
Averi: My favorite 
thing to do with my daddy is color with him.
Mom: What else do 
you do with your daddy?
Averi: Reading 
Winnie the Pooh. Plant a garden. We planted a garden!”
What are your 
favorite things to do with mommy?
Averi: “I like to 
color with you. Go shopping!”
Mom: “Yes, I take 
you with me to the grocery store almost every time I goand we have fun, don’t 
we?”
Averi: “Yes, and we 
bake cookies.”
Mom: “Yes, we spend 
time together baking all that stuff that’s not good for us and we like to eat 
the dough or batter when daddy’s not looking”
What are your 
favorite things about your sister?
Averi: “I get her 
milk, cereal, and I change her diaper.”
Mom: What do you like about her?
Averi "She's my best friend."
What are you excited 
about this fall?
Averi: I’m going to 
school!
Mom: Are you 
excited?
Averi: 
Yeah!
Mom: What else comes 
in the Fall?
Averi: 
Halloween!
Mom: What about 
watching football with Daddy? Are you excited about that?
Averi: 
Yeah!
Mom: What team do 
you cheer for?
Averi: I don’t 
know.
Mom: Okay, we won’t 
let your dad see this part of the interview. Steelers, remember?”
If you could be 
anything what would you be?
Averi: “I’m going to 
be Cinderella, Nakenzi’s going to be a dragon, and Benjamin’s going to be a 
knight.”
Mom: “That’s your 
Halloween costume. Besides Halloween what would you want to be?”
Averi: “I don’t want 
to be a princess. I want to be fairy!”
Now that you are 
starting school what are you excited about?
Averi: I’m going to 
make friends. I love to make friends.
Mom: What else will 
you do with your friends?
Averi: I will play 
with my friends. We will go outside and play more.
Mom: What do you 
hope to learn? Your parents are teachers so we do want to know what you hope to 
learn?
Averi: Read books. 
And make clothes.
Mom: You do love 
clothes. What else?
Averi: I will miss 
my little sister. She will be at Miss Kate’s but when she grows up like me 
she’ll go to school!
Mom: What are going 
to start doing at home when you start school? Are you going to sleep in your own 
bed?
Averi: Yes but I 
will miss your bed, mommy. 
Mom: It’s okay you 
can sleep in my bed as long as you want. You can be my baby for as long as you want.
