Seriously, I kinda do.
Almost 4 year old: I want to be an engineer, like daddy, except with machines. I want to build machines.
7 year old: I want to be an author.
5 year old: And I want to be an illustrator.
7 year old: Yeah, we talked about this, I can write the stories and he can illustrate them.
What do you guys want to be?

love.
Oh, my middle child, my mini-me, my distracted, careless, clumsy, caring, creative son. I really believe that God duplicated my brain to give to that kid, well, except for my eating preferences, which He gave to my littlest, and my sarcasm, which He gave to my eldest.
So, he says to me “mommy, for your birthday I want to give you a necklace, can you buy that so I can give it to you?” And I smiled, because he believes with all his little heart that a necklace is the one thing that I really really would love. I bought it for him, and they wrapped it, and tied it with a ribbon, and he was very pleased that he’ll be giving it to me for my birthday.
The amazing thing about kids is how humbling it is when they show their love and appreciation, it’s just so genuine and uncomplicated. We should all take a lesson from kids – keep it real!
