I SO needed this minute after a VERY long day with two little ones fighting all. day. long.
Me (thinking of Pinterest sign with “first day of school”): Libbie, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Libbie: For Christmas I want to ask Santa for things to go on my eyes so I can go under water.
Notes: She means goggles. And we have never had gifts from Santa or really talked to her about Santa at all.
Me: Do you want to have a job when you get big?
Libbie: Oh yes. I want to help people sleep.
Other things she said she wanted to be/do:
- Octopus
- Peach
- Armor
- Blanket
- Color
- Penguin
Then she pretty much gave me the toddler equivalent of “don’t fence me in, yo.”
I needed the laugh today. Really bad.
That gave me a good laugh! That photo of her is BEAUTIFUL by the way
Ok, so my analysis based on her career goals at this point is that Libbie wants to be able to comfort and protect others!
