Yesterday at the kids' school it was "Dress for Success" today.  The children were encouraged to dress as their future career.  Caleb wanted SOOOO badly to dress as a police man.  But, alas, we have nothing "policey" around here and time dwindled.  So he went with a cut out badge, printed off the internet, pinned to his shirt.  It's better than nothing, I say.

When he came home I asked about his day and asked him to tell me some of the careers that kids came dressed as.  He told me a few and then got excited and said "Oh, and mom, you're gonna love this one."

Lily wore an apron, brought a baby doll and bottle and said she wanted to be a MOTHER.

My response to him was a big smile and a "You're right Caleb, I do like that one".

Then I took the moment to talk to him about why I think motherhood is so special and sacred and we talked about the God-given duties that women have as nurturers and first and foremost as mothers.  I quoted for him some of the beliefs we have about the family and its divine role as taught in The Family: A Proclamation to the World by our Church leaders.

And I was so tickled that this little girl wants to be a mother…and at the same time tickled because it must mean she has a pretty good mother.
