Sydney: “Mommy, I want to be YOU when I grow up.” (I know, I know...I too was overwhelmed with the "I just want to pick you up and kiss you all over" feeling when she made this momentous announcement.) She continued her statement with a list of weekly activities: “I’m going to be a girl pastor on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m going to be a gardener on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Then on Friday’s I’ll sweep!” (For the record, I am neither a “girl pastor” nor a “gardener”. The sweeping part? That, I actually do.)
I’ve given her the job of sweeping our floors – I’m just trying to give her lots of practice for her career.
