Gabrielle Union and her precious daughter Kaavia James reflected on their favorite moments together for a fun interview with PEOPLE ahead of Mother’s Day. Wearing beautiful white dresses, Union, 52, kicked off their adorable Q&A style interview by asking Kaavia why she always rummages through her bathroom closet to “steal” her shoes. Innocent and shy, Kaavia explained that she loved “getting bigger with them” so that she could be tall like her favorite basketball player Angel Reese. 

“I love just pretending that I’m bigger,” the little one confessed.

The duo also reflected on their first time on the red carpet together and why Kaavia loves doing makeovers.

Then, Union went on to ask the 6-year-old cutie if she could recall the first time she appeared on the red carpet alongside her and her famous father Dwyane Wade. Kaavia knew it was in Miami, but couldn’t remember all of the details of her first time in the spotlight. However, she vaguely remembered people dancing on top of tables and having a ball of fun wherever they were.

Proud mama Union chuckled at her daughter’s memory, telling the youngster, “Yeah, that is fun when you can dance on tables. Shout out to LIV,” she added, giving a shout out to the famous Miami-based celebrity hotspot LIV Nightclub.

Kaavia wrapped up the delightful interview by sharing what she enjoys most about giving her parents “makeovers.” Known for her playful and creative approach, the little one has crafted some truly unique looks for both Mom and Dad, including one memorable moment where she generously applied eyeshadow to Dad’s nose. 

Explaining her technique in depth, Kaavia said that when she does Union’s makeup, she hopes that it will make her look and feel “good,” but she doesn’t know if her father feels the same. Kaavia shared that the former basketball star always “wipes it off” before the look can settle in.

“I think he looks good,” Union reassured her daughter–especially when you [do] like his eyeshadow,” she said.

Kaavia replied confidently, “Me too.”
