Career Changes Already???

My little ballerina in training!


So for the longest time Lorelei has decided she wants to be a doctor, of course I couldn't be more proud, because that's what I wanted to be. I love the body, the blood, the surgeries, and I'm not just talking about the fun drama on Grey's Anatomy, I truly enjoy all that doctorish stuff, it fascinates me, especially the gruesome stuff (I possibly watched way too many horror films.) Of course I didn't go that direction, so I was more than pleased when my daughter at age 3 tells me she wants to be a doctor. I ask "Why do you want to be a doctor?" She says, "I want to fix people and help them." I am so excited about this, UNTIL tonight!

While tucking her into bed,
I said, "I don't want you to grow up anymore,"
she says "but I want to grow up,"
I ask "Why do you want to grow up?"
She says, "because I want to be a Ballerina."

After a long pause, I was thinking my dreams as a doctor are truly finished, even if I would be living vicariously through Lorelei.

I then said, "You will be the most beautiful ballerina ever."

And so it is, from Doctors to Ballerinas!

Here's a couple clips of her dancing skills.
The first clip is their extensive training! Welcome to ballerina boot camp!
The second is one of her dance routines! Do you think she has what it takes to be a real dancer? Good thing ballerinas don't normally wear underwear!!!
