This evening, while I was at MSU, Jon tried to explain to Claire that I was a student and a teacher at the same time. It was hard for her to understand until Jon described it as similar to how she is going to be a "mom and a pastor at the same time" (this is per her talk with Jon several months ago when he impressed upon her that she could be a mom AND something else as well).
The description seemed to be lost on Claire as she immediately corrected Jon and said that she now wants to be four things at the same time when she grows up. Her words: "I want to be a mom, a basketball player, a swimmer, and....(dramatic pause) a volleyball player"
Hmm. The kid can't swim yet, has never played basketball or volleyball and doesn't appear to have much overall athletic talent or drive. But, there it is. Claire, age 5, life ambitions.
