I'm always interested in what children want to be when they grow up, so I ask J and W that question last night.
J (8) previously wanted to be a (kindergarten) teacher, now she is changing her list to midwife, actor, dancer and daycare provider. She was a little shy in telling me her choices, but actor is the one that surprised me. I think after seeing a 10, maybe 12 year old play Annie, she feels she would like to do that too. This morning, she also added, "explorer". What kind? I asked, "of the world", she said with a smile.
W(6, almost 7) still sticks to his gun with (computer) Engineer (adding an if clause: if he can do those really hard math problems correctly) or Artist (now narrowing to comic strip artist).
