Tonight as I was rubbing Mitchell's back during our bedtime routine he asked me,"Why does Annie go to school?"
I answered, "To learn how to read and do math and write," and he interrupted with enthusiasm,"and to cook".
"That's right buddy, Miss Annie is leaning how to cook at school too," I responded. "I think she might go to school to learn to be a teacher too. Some people go to school to learn to be teachers, some go to school to learn to be doctors and some go to school to learn to be pilots. People go to school to learn to do lots of different things."
"I'm going to be a pilot," he said.
"Mitchell you can be anything you want," I said taking the opportunity to encourage him. "You could be a pilot and a doctor and a daddy!"
"Wow," he said. "And an airplane mechanic."
"That's right buddy, you can be anything you want to be," I responded
He smiled a HUGE smile and said, "A door?"
To which I responded with a HUGE smile back,"You think you could be a door? That's silly!"
He laughed,"Yea, I made a joke."
Guess he's going to be a comedian too.
Much love,
Niki
