She knows what she wants to be

March 31, 2011 By Stephanie

She knows what she wants to be 1“Do you know what I’m going to be?” my 4-year-old asked me this morning.

She didn’t wait for an answer: “A nurse and a writer.”

She continued:

AND – I’m going to be a Bible Maker.

And do you know what else? A schoolteacher that shows people about God.

And a person that helps sick kids go to Disneyland.

And I’ll catch bees and give honey to people so they can make sandwiches.

And a car-fixer too.

Tim interjected: “Do you want to be a mommy someday too?”

“Yes, I do.” She stated confidently.

    My favourite desire is the “car fixer”. My Grandpa was a mechanic, always tinkering with things. I always thought it looked like a fun job. And would love to keep bees but the neighbours wouldn’t be so happy! At least we can visit bees at our agriculture museum. It’s really interesting to see a working beehive (highly recommend it if you get a chance!)

    So sweet.. I love that all the occupations she listed are ones tied to service. When she said Bible Maker, I immediately thought of a Wycliffe Bible translator! & I have to say that catching bees for honey sandwiches is one of the most creative job ideas I’ve heard of!

      We just visited the Wycliffe USA headquarters in March so I think it was fresh on her mind: http://bit.ly/fPN7AX.

      We also visited Give Kids The World last month. It’s an organization that helps sick kids go to Disney World: http://bit.ly/f3Lhs7. :)

    When my daughter was about 3.5 I asked her if she wanted to be a mommy when she grows up. She was on a Toy Story kick at the time, and answered that she couldn’t be a mommy because she was going to be a cowgirl like Jessie. Her face lit up with excitement and relief when I told her that she could be a cowgirl AND a mommy, if she wants. Her list of what she’s going to be has gotten longer since then, and it changes regularly. But it always brings me joy.

    Hi Stephanie- I am new to your blog… I saw that you use the Ergocarrier… isn´t it great? I use it frequently for hiking- I think it is the best carrier .. I am looking forward to reading through your posts! Greetings from Germany, Nicole.

      Yes! The Ergo is my absolute favorite carrier. We use it for hiking too. In fact, I’ve hiked almost 6 miles w/ my baby inside before without complaints. https://www.metropolitanmama.net/category/outdoor-family/

    I love her list! I should write down Sugar’s list one day… it’s quite amazing and I’m fully confident that she’ll be able to realize whichever dream she decides to pursue!
