Memories

As parents at one time or another, we all marvel at the rate in which our children grow. They seem to go from birth to beyond in the blink of an eye. It's almost like overnight they become a different person with new knowledge, likes, dislikes, fears and personality. My eldest is now 8 and she never ceases to amaze me with the way her mind works. Her world is expanding on a daily basis and I love the conversations we have.
Just this weekend, I was reminded of a pretty amazing conversation we had when she was around 3 years old. While shopping we came across a children's book called 'Runaway Bunny'. We've never read the book, but it reminded me of a late night conversation we had about the future. She was asking me about different professions and what she could be when she grew up. I can't remember exactly what I said, but I'm pretty confident that it was something along the lines of endless possibilities and that I believed she could be anything she wanted to be. Taking it all in, she promptly replied that she was going to be "a vet, a farmer, a zoo keeper and a runaway rabbit"!
