Kinderviews 9.5

If you have been reading my blog, you know that I occasionally love to do what I call “Kinderviews,” or basically interviews with my son at different ages of his life. I have finally gotten around to doing one since I have not in a while! Syrus loves doing them, so here is one at age 9.5.

Yes. He is going to be ten this year. I know. That flew by. Anyway, here we go!
