Prepping for the future

Sydney has found her calling in life. Donnie and I were talking about careers we should encourage our children to pursue ( I know, they haven't even started kindergarten yet...). As we began shouting out what we thought would be winners, Sydney interrupted us and informed us of her choice - "Mom, how about I be a veterinarian."

Donnie, curious, asked Sydney what veterinarians do. Her reply?

"I will help animals feel better, fix their owies, give them shots, feed them, and put them in cages," she said.

Donnie asked, "Why will you put them in cages?"

"Dad, that's where animals belong," she replied matter-of-factly.

Do you think we spend too much time at the zoo?

Regardless, we feel pretty comfortable with Sydney becoming a veterinarian. We need to work with Jaxy still. He spends his days walking around the house carrying a football and wearing Sydney's princess necklace.

I'm not really sure what career that prepares him for.
