I'm sure as a child, I had many grand ideas about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I am also pretty sure they included wife, mom, and princess. Well, 2 out of 3 isn't too bad! As far as career choices go, I cannot imagine doing anything other than being a pharmacist. I decided at a young age that I wanted to go into healthcare. I knew I wanted to help people, but I did not know in what capacity. I considered nursing school ( too many bodily fluids), and medical school(too much time at work, not enough time with my family) , then after volunteering in nearly every department at Heartland Hospital, I found pharmacy. Wow! This is something I could get up and do every day, I thought.
Now, I am watching Jackson start to ponder what he wants to be when he grows up. Big question for a five-year-old, right? Nope, not him. He is so confident of what he wants to be, and I support him wholeheartedly. His kindergarten teacher asks all the kids what they want to be when they grow up. At parent-teacher conferences, she shared his response along with a picture he had drawn of this choice. He wants to be a "Dad", and he drew a great picture of a Dad with his kids. Talk about breaking my heart! Sweetest thing ever. I thought TJ was going to cry during the meeting with Mrs. Houser. I hope this means we are doing an ok job.
I am pretty confident that if Cole could choose his career right now, he would be a farmer. I do not think he would ever tire of riding around in a tractor. His Second choice would be a pilot of some sort, because right now his obsession with airplanes ranks right behind his extreme obsession with tractors.
Yesterday, our family grew by one.
Elijah Thomas Harper was born at 759 am, weighing in at 9 lb, 8.7 oz. 22 inches long. Big Boy!
Proud parents Ryan and Jeana are doing great.
We couldn't be happier for them.
