Mommy I want to be...

We have always encouraged the kids to learn new things or to take lessons in something they are interested in. Emily has decided that she likes ballet because it is pretty but it is to slow and she wants to try something else. We have been trying to get her to tell us what she wants to do without our ideas swaying her to much. I guess she has been thinking about it because she announced that "Mommy, I want to be a snowboarder!"
Emily: Mommy I want to be a snowboarder and take snowboard lessons.
Me: Emily we can't do that we live in Phoenix. It doesn't snow here. Maybe we can think of something else.
Emily: Oh
She leaves and comes back a while later
Emily: Mommy I have it all figured out! We will drive to Utah, take my snowboard lessons, spend the night then drive back!
Me: I don't think that we can drive two days just for a snowboard lesson.
Emily: But I could be in the Olympics!
Me: Yes, I suppose you could one day, but we are still going to have to think of something else.
Emily: OK, then I want to ride ponies!
This girl is so active. She never stops. I am looking forward to school starting in a week!
