aspirations

A member of our ward recently gave a talk where he read an excerpt from his journal when he was 3. I thought it was cute that his mom wrote in a journal for him when he was little so i decided to ask owen and emma a few questions. i asked emma first what she wanted to be when she grew up and she told me "um, like a princess. a princess with a pretty bracelet." I then went to ask owen.

"owen what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"a pilot!"

i was fully expecting something train related especially since he was watching his favorite video Working on the Santa Fe. so i decided to ask further, "a pilot, really? like grandpa bailey?"

"who's grandpa bailey?"

"you know grandpa bailey. he flys airplanes"

"when?"

"every two weeks."

"when?!"

"in alaska, every two weeks."

he seemed a little incredulous. I think well have to show him some pictures and have dad tell him about it when we go up to ak.

Today Hudson said he wants to be a Police Officer. Yesterday he said he wanted to be a Rock Star. Kinda two different ends of the spectrum.

It was good to hear from you, Celeste. We miss you!
