Occupations

Dear Reader,

I worked in a HR before beginning motherhood, and perhaps for that reason I can't resist asking my four year old boy about what jobs he thinks he would enjoy when he grows up. I don't ask this question daily, but maybe monthly.

Early in the summer his response was a skateboarder. I didn't react much as I wondered if the conversation was actually just to ask for a skateboard, and I'm not ready for him to try that out quite yet.

This last week I asked the question once again. Quickly my son responded by saying that he would like to be a firefighter and a baseball player. He will be busy if that is the case! I asked why he's interested in each of these jobs. He said that a firefighter helps people, and he would love to use the big hoses to put out the fire. And then he suggested that he would like to be a baseball player because he's "a really good pitcher." (No confidence issues here.) He quickly qualified this statement though and said that he's better at pitching on the Wii than outside.

I'll keep you posted on this evolution of ideas as I hope to make certain to document his thoughts along the way.

Sincerely,

Abi
