They Come in All Types

And we've got one from each end of the spectrum at our house.

One on extreme is Mr. Isaac Practical. For quite some time (years already, and he's only 7) he's wanted to be a train driver. Then along came a fascination with maps and the desire to be a map-maker. This caused great angst for our man-on-a-one-way mission. In fact, it even brought him to tears one night. "I'm going to be a train driver but I want to be a map-maker too and I just don't know what to do!"

In stark contrast is Levi, who changes his mind about what he want to be almost weekly. I'm fine with his indisicion (he is only 5, after all), but the fantastic nature of his choices does make me hope he grows up a little before he really settles on a career! A few he's mentioned in the past couple months include a dinosaur, a volcano, a robot, a snowman, a dragon, Daddy (not just a daddy, but Daddy Himself), a famer (with a corn field) and a fisherman.
