My favorite thing to do is play sports.

So you're a pretty fast guy right?
Yep. My favorite animal is a cheetah. Because it's fast too.

You also enjoy pushups, right?
Yes.
Do you do pushups a lot of places?
I do pushups at my house a lot of times.
What do you like about pushups?
I like to get stronger and I just think they're fun.
You say a lot of stuff that doesn't, to most people, make sense. For instance, you once said, "You can't have a Christmas party without a cat down a tree." Why, do you think, do you say things like that?
I don't know. I just think of stuff and I just say it.
What do you think of our baby?
She's really cute and I like to watch her.
Watch her do what?
Well, watch the baby so if it's like, Mommy's making dinner, Mommy doesn't have to hold the baby. Or Mommy's making lunch. Or breakfast.
Does Mommy do that a lot? Make food?
Yes. When we get hungry, we just all need to eat food. There's a lot of us, so we need a lot of food for the whole family.
What's your favorite toy to play with?
Nerf. I like it because it's fun to shoot it around.

No. Just animals I like and sports I like.
