I think mabye:

DD#1 - Lawyer - loves to argue and negotiate to get her way

DD#2 - Doctor - has to inspect poopy diapers, vomit, cuts, bruises, scrapes, any and all injuries and will literally knock you down to see what is going on. Tries to fix everyone's boo-boos. Of course, band-aids cure everything!!

DS#2 - Something working with his hands. He loves "fixing" everything and if it isn't broken, he will fix that too!!!

DD#3 - Something in Drama or politics. She is defininely the Drama Queen or presidential candidate and has, at 16 months old, already mastered the "look" and we all get it when she is displeased with us. It is hilarious. If that look doesn't work she screams at us to stop, quit, shut, sit, go, stay, no-no, mine, and will even resort to hitting or biting us if she must!! Just this morning she woke her daddy by yelling, "dada, dada, I wet, I wet." And this was, of course, his command to get up and change her diaper!! she is definitely in charge!

So funny you should ask...

as we were just talking about this this weekend.

1. Farmer - he loves cows and horses!!!!!

2. Singer - his nickname is "Little Stevie", this was Stevie wonders nickname when he was young. DS has a microphone and he "sings" into it with his eyes closed and his head weaving back and forth!!

3. Professional Athlete - kid has a rocket arm and can hit a baseball like nobody's business.

I am hoping for supermodel, but boxer might be more like it.
She has started swatting at, or making fists at everyone we encounter.

Our oldest daughter wanted to be a 'boobie' doctor for a long time.. Not sure what that is! ;-) Next, she was going to be a professional tennis player, singer, and vet... all simultaniously.. Now, at 12, I think she's gonna play the 'I'm gorgeous' card and try to land a rich husband so she can hang out at spas.. ;-)

Bryce ~ A doctor

Sofie ~ A lawyer

Neither have shown any interest or signs pointing to these careers, but I have a dream that they will grow up and become a doctor and lawyer, move back to Guatemala, and make things better there.. :-)

Well have thought about this alot. Since we get teased about DS being adopted. Like that means that he won't turn out well?!?! Anyhow I tell people he he going to grow up and be a brain surgeon! Why? Well he is very smart and very coordinated. I think that a brain surgeon would have to have these qualities.
As for bio DD, well she is dramatic, does not like to work hard or sweat so I think she will marry wealth and not do anything. She does not like babies or the idea of taking care of them so I don't think she will have any children either.

Well, Madelyn's only 18 months old, but.....

I predict that she will go into music/dance. She absolutely loves music of any kind and dances to any tune. She loves to bang on her toy piano and her daddy's keyboard. And the other day she got to play on a full size set of drums. We're definitely putting her in dance classes as soon as she's old enough and giving her music (probably piano) lessons, too, later on.

Judging by the way he is behaving tonight, my 6 year old son will be a convicted felon.

We've always thought that Alex would be a Wal-Mart greater because he is obsessed with opening and closing doors.

My 6yo son has been giving me those days lately, as well. Some days are bad enough that I fear I may be the future convicted felon

These are wonderful. Isnt it amazing to think that our kids have the potential to do and be anything they want. No one can stop them. We have the best seat in the house. We get to watch them. I love this mother thing.
Its so cool

Antonio (2) career criminal. He is so naughty
Giovanni (5.5) mob boss. Wow does he like being in control

What I always saw for them was the same exact as Mariais5. I hope that they become Dr's or lawyers. I want them to make life a little better for there home land. Teachers, nurses. I dont care. I just want them to be happy and make a difference.

Ava loves all animals so I'm going with a future vet.

When I ask her what she wants to be, she says "Mommy, I'm going to stay little and live with you forever".
