For quite some time now Ellery has been telling us that she wants to be a dentist when she grows up. Then she decided that she would prefer to be an orthodontist. She has asked how long she has to go go school, if she needs to have good grades and how far away she has to go to school (she wants to stay close to home, that is what she says now anyway). She also has her office location picked out downtown Litchfield, so I assume she will be coming back some day to open up an office...=)
The other day Calvin had a dentist appointment to have a filling, she made sure she was right in there watching everything. After this appointment she decided she wanted to be a dentist who only works with kids, so I told her yes she could do that, and it is a called a pediatric dentist.
Perfect, right?! Until I heard her tell someone the other day that she was going to be an OrthoPediatric Dentist when she grows up. Now I am not a dental expert, but I do not believe OrthoPediatric is an option. I love how she threw those two professions together and that way she doesn't have decide between pediatrics and orthodontist.
I don't remember what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I am 99% sure it was more along the lines of a ballerina or Annie. No seriously I wanted to be Annie when I grew up, I even had my hair permed just like hers (see photo above). I can't make that up. I think I looked lovely. The sun will come out tomorrow....
Funny!
