Workers

Yesterday at Drew's school they were talking about what they wanted to be when they grow up. This is part of our conversation in the car on the way home:

Drew: Cody wants to be a doctor. A dog doctor.
Mom: Oh, a dog doctor is called a veterinarian.
D: Yeah and he wants to help dogs. And Ryan wants to be a cheffer.
M: A cheffer? Do you mean a chauffeur?
D: No, a cheffer!
M: Like someone who cooks food?
D: Yeah.
M: That's a chef. What do you want to be?
D: I want to be a worker.
M: What kind of worker?
D: I want to build tall houses.
M: Oh. That's cool. Like Bob the Builder.
D: And I want to hold signs, and put up cones.
M: OK, just like the workers on our street.
Ava: And I want to be a fixer!
M: Oh, what kind of fixer?
A: One who fixes cars.
M: That is a mechanic.
A: Yeah, and I will have a girl hammer.
D: And I will have a BIG hammer!

this makes me want to change my career. drew makes being a worker sound WAY more fun than being just a stupid teacher. i don't wear a hat, put out cones, OR have a big hammer. how lame. ;)

Sometimes I want to take a hammer to my car to "fix it" as well. A girl hammer OR a big hammer!

I heard about your miraculous son's blog page on the Yahoo congenital heart group from Valerie. His story is truely courageous and his family is as well. My son also has DiGeorge, but a different chd. We go to Phoenix for his care, but are hoping to get a second opinion from Dr. Hanley at Stanford as my son has MAPCA's. I was so happy to see you love the care there and to see the Lucille packard link.

Thank You!
