Big Sister has been very preoccupied with her future as of late. She’s been musing about what kind of baby she’s going to have and what she can be when she grows up. Big thoughts from someone who’s not even 4. This morning I explained to her that she could be whatever she wanted to be, as long as she worked hard and really wanted it, she could make it happen. There wasn’t really anything she couldn’t be, as long as she was determined enough.

She ruminated on that for a moment, and then with all the serious pause a 3-year-old can muster, she proclaimed: “When I grow up, I want to be an eyeball.”

So I guess there are some things she might not be able to be, no matter how much she might want it.
