When I Grow Up

Aurora told me yesterday that when she grows up she wants to be a teacher. This is the first time she has actually thought about what she wants to do (other than, 'when I grow up I want to stay up all night and eat whatever I want...") so I wanted to document it on their blog. I asked her if she wanted to teach little kids, big kids, or grown-ups, and she said 'little kids'. She seemed very serious about it too! I told her that was a great thing to be when you grow up and since she is such a good big sister and teaches Alex all of the time, she will make a great one! :-)

Jets

Alex's primary obsession right now is jets - all sizes, shapes, and colors! He loves them and will even watch science shows that have jets in them. He gets so excited when they fly over the house (we live near an air force base). Right now he pronounces his j's like y's, so he calls them "yets"! Here are some pictures of his collection:

Zebras

I thought I would do a couple of posts this week about the kids' favorite things. Aurora's favorite thing in the whole world right now is zebras. They have always been her favorite animal. I have to admit, they are pretty cool! I scored big last week and found a zebra outfit on clearance at Gymboree - she was so excited! They even had matching socks and barrettes! So here she is with her new outfit and her zebra collection:
