Conversations with Dane

After a smooth audiology appointment for Blake this morning with all three kids in tow (yes, I am surprised as you are) we dropped him off at school. Upon getting into the van after doing so, Dane asked, "Mommy, can I see your phone." After being successful at hiding my new iPhone from Dane for several days he finally spotted it and wanted to play games. I said, "not right now." He responded, "I can have my own phone when I'm a Daddy." This blossomed into a conversation about what Dane will be able to do when he is a Daddy...

~Feed his sister
~Give his sister a bath
~Eat spicy foods (which he already does, maybe he will graduate to something like habaneros)
~Cook in the kitchen
~Go to work, which was then followed by me saying, "What are you going to be?" And the dreaded answer...

A Doctor. Hmm. Most parents would be beaming with pride. This Mom, the wife of a current resident, was biting her tongue. If this dream continues I am sure I will become supportive, proud and do whatever I can to guide him in the right direction to achieve this goal. Or provide him a bypass to business or law school.
