Moments like these erase the whiny morning and the sibling rivalry. i believe in speaking into my kids (i.e you are kind, gentle, thoughtful, brave etc.) and dream building with them. In our house we talk a lot about what they want to be when they grow up. After naptime i was snuggling my youngest (3 in 10 days). In the past he has said he wants to be a doctor who fixes cars (can you guess his favorite movie?) or a police officer. Today i asked if he wanted to be president of the United States (we have a president book we read and they memorize), he nodded no. Do you want to be a police officer? Again, nodding no. Do you want to be a fire fighter? Nodding no. Do you want to marry a rich girl so you can sit and watch t.v all day? An enthusiastic nodding of yes.
