I was 'Born to be an Engineer."

Ben, Will and Andy and I were down the street visiting with Jamie (the boys babysitter) and Jenna. Jamie's is home for Christmas and the boys always want to spend as much time with her as they can.

It was raining off and on and we were playing basketball, playing with umbrellas and having a good time with them. Jenna and Jamie started asking Ben what he likes to do, what his hobbies are, what sports he likes, what he's into. Everything was "no or nothing really". Then after all the questions he said "forget about it... i was born to be an Engineer."

He has said for the last year that he wants to be an Engineer. He hasn't specified what type of Engineer yet.  His favorite subjects in school are math and science. He loves building things, and trying to figure things out.

He's definitely a go-getter. Over the past few months, he's been really helpful around the house. Doing the laundry, cleaning his room, helping his dad build furniture, basically any chore we ask of him - he will more than likely do. It's been great. I just pray it continues.

Now... to just get Will and Andy to follow in his lead.
