When I Grow Up...

Today we found an old list that Selah wrote around the start of first grade, when she was six. It lists all the things she wanted to be when she grows up. She laughed at it a little because of a few of the things she has no intention of becoming. We decided to do a little then/now post (so that it couldn't get torn by baby brothers again). 

Here's what she wanted to be:

Mom

Teacher

Firefighter

Police

Princess

Artist

Art teacher

Dentist

Doctor

Mountain climber

Scientist

Explorer

Radio D.J.

Park worker

Ballerina 

Store worker

Bakery worker

Gardener

Bus driver

Train driver

Clown

Writer of children's books 

Crafter

Cook/chef

Babysitter

TV actress

Play actress, play writer, play director

Story teller

Gift-giver

TV watcher

Now, Selah wants to be:

Fashion designer*

Singer/song writer*

Mom

Teacher

Princess

Artist/art teacher

Scientist

Explorer

Ballerina 

Park worker (maybe)

Store worker (maybe)

Baker, cake/cookie decorator, cook/chef

Acrobat

Gardener

Bus driver ( maybe)

Writer

Crafter

Babysitter 

TV actress

Play actress/Play writer/ Play director

Story-teller

Gift-giver

TV watcher

*These are her top occupation goals. She keeps a notebook of dress design drawings and she can often be heard singing her original songs. She even made up a song on the piano. (Aunt Marisa started teaching Selah piano a few weeks ago.)

Whatever she ends up doing, I know that she will do an amazing job! Selah is so talented and smart! I'm so lucky to be her mom!
