Aspiration

Lincoln asked Hunter last night what he wanted to do when he got older. His response?

"Dad, I want to play football on TV and be in a dance crew!"

Yes!!!! I have to admit, it makes me happy. I know you're not supposed to "want" your child to do any certain activity, but let's all be honest, deep down don't we all want our child to do something that we love as well? Don't we want to share that passion with our children?

It did make me stop and think though - when and where is that line where you continue to encourage your child to do what they dream of, and love - but make sure that they are realistic and not dreaming of playing in the NFL when their chances are VERY slim of doing so.

It's a fine line - but for now, we'll dream big!
