Derek's Likes

I thought it would be fun to record some of the likes of my children:

Derek: Fruit, especially apples, plums, mangoes, pears, and well just about any fruit. He eats fruit daily. We actually have to tell him he can't have any more fruit until he eats other things. He also likes his vegetables, but prefers them raw. All though he will eat them cooked. He is also a sugar boy, and loves candy, but not so much cookies or other baked goods. He loves cookie dough, but once baked one is enough.

He is into the cartoons "Little Bill," "Neverland Pirates," "Little Bear," "Arthur," the old "Scooby Doo," and "Tom and Jerry, and the movies "Star Wars," "Duck Tales," any animated Disney.

He recently told me he would rather not have toys because he doesn't like to clean. We will see how long that lasts, but it has been 3 days since he played with any toys. He loves playing outside in the sand, riding bikes, and joining his parents up in the mountains to camp and hike. He would also love to fish, but doesn't get the chance as we are always swamped with younger kids. He is also very crafty and loves to color, draw, play with play dough, and put things together like puzzles, and small models.

Derek is my more serious contemplative boy. He is also my most ticklish boy. I don't even have to tickle him, but just pretend and he is wiggling on the floor in laughter. He can't wait to go to school. He wants a back back. He enjoys snuggling with us and reading books. We are realizing that he enjoys toys, cartoons, or books with black people, thus his like of "Little Bill." He loves making new friends. He is my wondeful little boy.
