dreams for the future

So yesterday as the girls were playing outside (yay for low humidity so we could actually enjoy being outside for awhile!) I was thinking about what they may be "when they grow up."

Will Rebecca be a soccer star on the World Cup team?

Or maybe a coach or teacher?

Or maybe she'll be an opera singer.

No, I think it'll be a cheerleader.

Rachel is pretty sure of her career path.  She told me as I took this picture that she is a surfer.

No, actually, Rachel changes her mind all the time.  Sometimes she wants to be a vet (even though she's scared of most pets), sometimes a teacher, sometimes a mom, sometimes an astronaut.  And she talks a LOT about getting married.  She said the other day that maybe in kindergarten she would meet the person she is going to marry.  Then she said she's going to marry Blake, our neighbor.  I told her she'd better not tell Blake that, or he probably wouldn't want to play with her.  When she asked why, I said that boys don't like to think about getting married until they get a lot older, so she shouldn't tell a boy that she wants to marry him.  I'm a little bothered that at five years old she thinks so much about these things!
