A mostly unorganized list of Adrian’s current favourites based on my interview with him.
- Book: Kalle Anka, both Pockets and the thin magazines
- Good night stories: Supilinna salaselts with me, His Dark Materials with Eric (although in Swedish and not English)
- Music: no absolute favourite, though he does like Queen, especially after we watched Bohemian Rhapsody
- Movies: Shaun the Sheep, and The Lord of the Rings
- Movie character: Legolas, because no matter what he does, he does it in a cool way
- TV series: Mandalorian, His Dark Materials
- YouTuber: CaptainSauce
- Video games: Subnautica. Blazing Beaks together with Eric. Horizon Zero Dawn he enjoys but paused because he arrived at a boss that looks hard to beat. Mostly he likes trying out new games and then loses interest after a week or two.
- Board games: Catan, Small World, Bondespelet
- Food to cook: making pasta
- Food to eat: pasta with a pea sauce; spring rolls and dumplings.
- Drink: Innocent’s apple and raspberry juice
- Fruit: raspberries, strawberries and paraguayo peaches
- Sweet: chocolate, mud cake and brownies
- Ice cream flavour: Adrian hasn’t eaten enough ice cream yet this year to have a favourite
- Friends: Elvira and Hanna. The best thing to do together with them is “just hanging out”.
- Subject at school: art, and woodworking. He likes building random things without instructions, and enjoys the wide range of materials and tools available at school.
- Activity at after-school care: building Legos, playing in the sandbox, drawing, and Ubongo, and “me and Elvira chase Silas”.
- Clothes: oversized t-shirts, soft socks with food patterns, and fluffy fleeces. He also loves the banana t-shirt we recently bought, and misses the cinnamon bun t-shirts he had as a baby.
- Body part: his big toes, “because they are big”
- Color: green
- Job when grown up: none. Adrian would instead like to be a pig when he grows up – one of those mini pigs who are kept as pets and don’t get eaten.
- Superpower: take out things from pictures and movies and make them real; and to be stretchy, because “I can’t reach and I don’t have the energy to walk”
- Season: summer, autumn, winter, spring
- Place in the house: sofas
- Animal: koalas and narwhals, like last year
- Coolest things, if only they existed: aliens with cool gadgets and zappers och UFOs and universal translators
- Thing he wishes we could do this summer: visit Estonia and go to Otepää adventure park
- Looking forward to in 4th grade: “the club” (which is the bigger kid version of after-school care) and meeting Kristian, his favourite after-school teacher
