Doctor or Wizard?

My little MD

(no comments on the safety of this pose
or the state of the playroom, please)

I must admit that the thought of my wild child one day becoming a doctor makes me beam with pride. And don't laugh, it might just happen. You see, Kai got a doctor's kit for Christmas and one of his favorite activities is "healing" his family members. This usually involves Kai checking our heart and lungs with his stethoscope, having our blood pressure checked, and in the end, receiving several shots (which is always the cure for our illnesses.) Today Kai switched things up and decided to become a wizard. At first, I was a little disappointed. I mean honestly, wouldn't we all rather have McDreamy as our son instead of Merlin? But then I began to think about it (what better way is there to spend my day other than contemplating the magical future of my 3 year old?) A wizard in the family might not be so bad. Need help paying the bills? Poof - money o'plenty! Can't fit into that darn dress? Poof - now you can! Need to be at 2 soccer fields (or dance recitals) at the same time? Poof - just have your sweet son clone you for the day! Tonight I'm going to sleep well. I have peace knowing that it'll be okay no matter what my little one chooses to be.

No worries about me harassing your for letting your child stand precariously on top of a spinning device. Have you seen the VIDEO of my 19 month old playing with scissors???

A wizard in the family might be nice, like you not first pick, but upon contemplation, looks very promising. Momma needs a new... poof!
