I asked Julia yesterday if she wanted to be a doctor when she grows up. We had just watched a news story about doctors and she seemed to be pretty interested. She thought about it for a second or two but then responded that she didn't want to be a doctor.
Instead, she informed me, she wants to be a soccer player when she grows up. I can't argue with that. Although we've never mentioned anything about playing soccer professionally (she came up with this entirely on her own), she probably has observed me enough to assume that answer would be well received.
She made it clear that she doesn't want to start playing until she's much older though - specifically, five years old. She is convinced that when she turns five years old this year she'll be ready to play. Glad to see she's already planned out the next year of her life and has specific milestones established.
