Career Day

Caroline's class has been exploring all kinds of careers during the month of February and have enjoyed visits from various parents describing what they do for their career. Wonder why Gary, the software developer/project manager and Lisa, the CPA, were not asked to present?? That would have been riveting!! The month-long study culminates today with the children dressing up as what they want to be when they grow up. On Monday I posed the question to Caroline thinking she would say Dora or a mommy, however, I was pleasantly surprised to hear her say "I want to be what Gammy is". Gammy is Gary's mom and she is a pediatrician. I quickly thought about that idea and found a pair of children's sized scrubs for her to wear to school today. She also has a stethoscope that Gammy gave to Anna when Caroline was little and had a heart condition. Caroline also received for Christmas a doctor's kit from her cousins Blake and Drew. All of this was taken to school today. She was so proud of herself and told me that she thought she looked like Gammy. On her way out the door I said "Bye Doctor Caroline" to which she responded, "Bye Doctor Mommy". She was too cute!!

Caroline ready to "do checkups" as she called it this morning.

The excited girl.
