Q | What is your favorite thing about your bedroom?

A | Soft pillows. And my climbing wall.

Q | How often do you use your climbing wall?

A | Twice a week. There are different ways to do it: easy, challenging, middle, and hard. Once Daddy tied a whistle to the rope and then he had me climb up, and I picked it up and I whistled. I also like to climb rocks outside. Every time I see a rock I just climb it.

Q | Did you pick out any of the stuff in your room?

A | My Batman costume.

Q | What is your favorite spot to snuggle in?

A | In my bed! With my mom!

Q | What do you keep in your play loft?

A | I have the Castle of Morcia up there, also books and my trophies. I have to go up to my loft to go down the Batpole.

Q | Who cleans your room?

A | My mom.

Q | Do you like your room better messy or neat?

A | Messy!

Q | Does your room feel different after you turn out the lights?

A | No. Actually, yes. Because sometimes I see shadows, and I always want to get up and see what they are.

Q | What is your favorite color?

A | Blue mixed with green, blue green—I mean green blue.

Q | What would you change about your room if you could change anything?

A | I would turn it into a doughnut, and I would eat it.

Q | Are doughnuts your favorite food?

A | Yes, but I love bacon and chocolate.

Q | When you grow up, what will your room be like?

A | A hotel. Because there are waiters.

Q | You mean room service?

A | Uh-huh.
