As a Mom, I have to admit that I am endlessly amused by the little conversations that I have with my kids (as evidenced by this blog.) Lately Dawson has done a lot of contemplating on his career path. At one point or other in his life he has wanted to be a train engineer, fire fighter, volcanologist and more recently a priest. But right now his imagination has been captured by the idea of being a part of a search and rescue crew for the Coast Guard or maybe a helicopter pilot that combats wildfires.
A snack plus a video of the coast guard rescuing people during a hurricane.
It amazes me that he knows little facts like the top rotors give the helicopter lift while the tail rotors steer the helicopter (apparently he learned this from a mighty machine video.) He also has been planning out his search and rescue crew. He has been enticing me to join the coast guard with him because he wants me to be his co-pilot. Mike gets to be the person that mans the hoist. What a vivid little imagination he has!
He loves company and hates to be alone. On this particular day while we were waiting for his siblings we took a walk and saw that they were using an asphalt ripper on our road. Of course we had to follow and stare to investigate. One day we were reading a book and he got really teary because the main character was feeling lonely. He told me he is really lonely during homework time. Carter, Ava and I are busy and he has no one to play with. I felt so bad! I've been trying to give him "homework" or a special job to do so that he doesn't feel so left out. Love you so much, my sweet little boy!
