All 3 of our little Indians have enjoyed playing "chef" at one time or another. Go figure...their daddy loves to cook and his quite talented in the kitchen. Their mommy loves to eat. It would make perfect sense that our kids would gravitate towards anything having to do with food.
It started me thinking that maybe our kids might not choose to go to college in the future and might spend a good part of their lives in a restaurant setting earning their keep in some way or another. It got me to thinking that all the lofty dreams and high hopes and expectations we have for our children may not be the dreams that they dream for themselves. And, that's okay. We will love them for who they are and for what they choose to make of their lives. We will do our best to accept them for all they are now and for who they will become in the future. Because, as parents, isn't that all our children really ask of us?

I came across your blog through the random blog search. I've really enjoyed reading it. This particular post caught my attention, because just in the past year we've come to the realization and acception of the fact that our kids may not choose to go to college -- and that's okay! They may choose a trade. We just want them to be able to provide for themselves and be happy. College wasn't for me, so maybe it won't be for them either!
Also, I hope your daughter enjoys her first day of school. Make sure to take LOTS of pictures! This time flies by so quickly!
