Possible Careers....

Since I just reached my 5 month old birthday I decided it's time I start considering possible careers. You can never start thinking about these things too early. Below is my list so far.

Option 1 - Night Guard

I thought this might be a good fit for me since I'm good at staying up late. I've tried to teach Mom and Dad, but they really aren't fans of the Night Guard option. I don't know though, I think with a few more months of training they'll be pretty good at it and we could start a family business

Option 2 - Veterinarian

Since we have 3 dogs it only makes sense for me to be a veterinarian. I've been practicing petting the dogs lately and mom is teaching me how to tell Dibs NO when he gives me a mean look. She says there is a no return policy with me and not on him.....I'm not sure what she's talking about, but I think that means I get to stay.

Option 3 - Chef

I don't let Mom and Dad cook dinner anymore without sitting in my blue chair on the counter. I have to be a part of the action and also, I'm giving instructions on what ingredients to add and how much. The meal always looks yummy but for some reason they won't let me sample....maybe someday I can try the big-kid food, because this Rice Formula they shoved in my mouth the other day tasted pretty bland. How come they get all the good stuff?!

Option 4 - Teacher

I sure love reading books so I think I might be a good teacher. I don't think it matters if I eat the books as well. Some people say they learn from osmosis, well I learn from chewing on the book. Anyway, I have a few favorites now and we read them every night.

Option 5 - Podiatrist

I am fascinated by my feet. I almost got one in my mouth the other day, but I got distracted by a toy so I stopped trying. They are great to grab onto and roll around with on the floor. I'm not sure where they came from, but they appeared in the last month and are good friends of mine. I think I could be really good podiatrist......especially if I get to play with other peoples feet.

Option 6 - Audiologist

The last career I am currently considering is an audiologist. For an obvious reason, I work with them all time with my Microtia. My audiologist is really cool and I think it would be fun to work with other kids with hearing problems when I grow up. I might be able to relate to them and help them hear better.

So those are my current career ambitions. I was going to say I want to be a dancer because I like to wiggle all over the floor and am becoming very mobile, but mom and dad said they like the options above more.

Speaking of wiggling, I'm almost mobile. I can roll all around and get the toys I want. I still prefer to stand and hold onto the couch, but this rolling thing is great because I am becoming independent. I talk to all my toy friends when playing on the ground now too......Dad says he has no idea where all my talking comes from and then looks at Mom (I think it's because she likes to talk as well).

I have a busy weekend coming up. I'm flying on a big plane....remember the thing that is like a bird and flys through the sky....yep, that. Anyway, I'm flying on a plane to Ohio...yes, I'm taking Mom and Dad with me. Mom has to work on Saturday, but other than that I get to meet lots of new relatives. I hope I remember all their names. Mom and Dad hope I take my nap on the plane....I'll let you know how that goes after the trip.

Peace - Love - Happiness -

See - I can sit up all by myself!
