So I have heard many times about parents seeing traits early on in their children's lives that continued into adulthood and was a real part of who they would become in later years. You always here about the Moms of the superstar singers that say stuff like "Oh she started singing when she could barely talk." Or "Little Tiger was barely walking when he hit his first golf ball and we just knew it would be his passion." I to see these things in my children and wonder if it will someday make an impact on what they will do with their lives. You know that child that always liked to cut open her dolls just so she could preform surgery on them and then mend them back to health, did she or will she on day actually be a doctor? Or how about the one that could spend all day out in the woods rolling around in the dirt looking for interesting bugs to read about and tell everyone (that will stand still for longer then ten seconds) how awesome they are and more facts about creepy crawly things then you ever really wanted to know. Does that child continue to dream about one day working in the ecological field? All I know is that as adults and even more as parents we tend to think so. Even as we speak I have Carolina enrolled in art classes because behind all of her messiness she is really an artist at heart. I have said on more then one occasion what I think my kids will grow up to be like, just by seeing they way they do things now and the things that interest them now.
But today, well today was different. I saw a whole new side to George and his potential future today and I don't really know what to make of it. I guess no matter what he does in the end, as long as he is truly happy, then that is all that really matters. And if working at a job as say a dishwasher or any other form of work that requires you to wear a white plastic hair net is his thing. Well I guess that what makes him happy.

I too can not wait to see what the future holds for my little one! I want to keep her this way forever, but I also can't wait to see what God has in store for her!
He's going to be a school cafeteria worker. :) I think it's amazing what kids come up with. What would the world be like if we all still had that much creativity?
