Something a little different for a Monday! I had to share a story about my son, Brady. Brady is a sweet, loving, full of energy crazy 4 year old. He is ALL boy. There are days when he completely drains the life from me and other days he just surprises me. He is just like me, as much as I hate to admit it.
Well I went to go pick him up from preschool and directly in front of me is a bulletin board titled, "Oh, the Places You'll Go". It doesn't take me long to find Brady's paper (right at the top). The question on the paper is, "What do you want to be when you grow up?". As I scanned the papers I saw a lot of: fireman, policeman, doctor (the typical response from a 4 yr old). When I took a closer look at my son's response, I had to laugh.
"Brady wants to be Sonic", Sonic the Hedgehog. It didn't surprise me at all. On the way home in the car I asked Brady, why do you want to be Sonic? His response was simple, "Because he goes fast". This really got me thinking, I wish some decisions were just that easy. For years I have gone back and forth about what to get a masters in. The main reason I haven't decided is because, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Yet my 4 yr old has it all figured out! I wish everything were that easy! Oh to be 4 again!
