Heart to Heart Career talk

I know...too early for this one...but it was so good to hear Sean's rationale for his career choice of the moment :)


TRAIN LOVER


Today on our way to school, Sean was pretending to be on a train and said,

Mama, I'm sitting on a train.

Me: Where are you going on the train?
Sean: To the Noth Pole
Me: Who is in the North pole
Sean: Santa
Me: What is santa doing in the north pole?
Sean: he is going to give gifts for all the nice boys.

Me: Sean, Santa is not going to give gifts all the time...only during X'mas time.
Sean: But the boy in the polar express train ....the train driver helps him and ...

Soon he lost his train of thought and kept talking about trains in general and he announced,

I WANT TO BE A TRAIN DRIVER!!

Me: Sean, what do you want to become when you grow up?
Sean: I want to be a train driver
Me: Are you sure? What about becoming a Doctor?

He didnt want to disappoint me, so he said,

Sean: I want to be a doctor and a train driver.

however soon he changed his mind...(it was as if he couldnt betray his true love)

Sean: I want to be a train driver because i love trains. Baby can become a doctor.
Me: Why?
Sean: Because baby likes doctors...

Yeah buddy with all the recent Dr visits you would think that she LOVES doctors :)

I love these conversations with him and I hope I'll rememeber to share this with him in a few years when he has something new lined up for his career...
