Ashlyn's Career Day

Today Ashlyn has Career Day. Last week she came home from school and told me that they were supposed to dress up for Career Day. I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said, "I want to be a mom, just like you!" How sweet is that? At first I was surprised and maybe a little disappointed. How are you supposed to dress up like a mom? PJs and slippers with ratty hair? Anyways, after being scolded by both of my parents, and after hearing from Ashlyn repeatedly how she just wants to be a mom, I decided to go with it. Don't get me wrong, that makes me very happy that she wants to be a mother (like me), I was just hoping to be able to dress her up really fun....like a nurse or vet (what I thought she would choose since she loves animals). Anyways, so we decided to have her dress in her "sweats", an apron and carrying a baby doll. We were going to put curlers in her hair, but I was afraid she'd get teased by the other kids (especially by the high schoolers that ride her bus). So, now I am just waiting for her to get home and tell me all about it!
