When I was a kid I wanted to be a forest ranger, a veterinarian, or a zoologist.
Instead I earned a degree in elementary education.
But now I'm a fitness trainer.
And I have a fantasy of being a sonographer.
Who knows what I'll be doing in 5 or 10 years.
I kind of don't know what I want be when I grow up.
I often wonder what my kids will be.
Particularly Hannah.
She conducts regular experiments with colored water.
She calls it "Rainbow drops of sunlight experiments".
She takes it seriously and spends serious time on it.
She uses the primary colors to make other colors.
Her obsession with bugs is going on years now.
She has no problem touching them.
Sometimes it absolutely freaks me out.
It's the worms and centipedes that really get to me.
Snails are the new favorite.
She likes to talk to others about bugs and explain their different skills.
She has even gotten her friends into collecting them.
But if you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she will say...
a princess.
I absolutely love my princess/scientist/entomologist.
She kind of rocks our world right now with fun.
4 year olds are awesome.
Asher shows an aptitude toward physical agility.
We joke he is going to be an Olympic athlete when he grows up.
That kid is fearless. He starts tumbling lessons soon.
I get approached often by other moms at the park who don't know what he can do.
They think he's about to fall to his death and regularly inform me of the predicament he's in.
I always respond, "Don't worry, he's fine."
But the odds Asher will be an athlete are unreal.
(we'll support it though)
I wonder what he will really be when he grows up.
3 years ago Jared was an Industrial Engineer.
Now he's a designer of children's educational applications.
In 5-10 years...???
I honestly don't know what we are all going to be when we grow up.
That's okay.
What did/do you want to be when you grow up?
