The other day while putting Ayden to sleep, he looked as if he was intensely thinking. I asked him, “Are you thinking something?”
“Yes,” he replied.
“What are you thinking?” I asked.
“I don’t know what car to play with in the morning, baba!”

Today Ayden said, “Jack (his friend) wants to be firetruck driver and I will be ambulance driver. Jack will put out fires. I will take people to hospital. It will be so much fun.”

Yesterday, after I picked up Ayden from his daycare, he said he didn’t know what he wanted to be. I guess they asked him this question in his class. I told him he has plenty of time to figure it out. There is no rush.
Then later at night he said, “Baba, I know what I want to be. I want to be a Tow Truck Driver.” He said it would be so much fun to tow cars.
