When Andrew grows up, what will he be?

A dancer? He loves to boogy and clap along to any and all music, and already has rhythm (must be from Daddy's genes)

A garbage collector? We leave the apartment hand in hand now, and he quickly ventures off to pick up any bit of rubbish alongside the sidewalk. We place said rubbish in the next garbage can we pass.

A professional swimmer? His love for water started at 3 months of age when he took his first dunk under water in River Walk. Since then, we swim on a regular basis, at least 3 or 4 times per week.

An artist? He is keen to get the lid off off any pen he sees and scribble on anything in sight, including the furniture and mommy's clothes. His new washable crayons are already a big hit.

A carpenter? He is very fond of daddy's toolbox and loves to play with his toy "hammer". Also loves to build castles in the sandbox.

A dishwasher? He always pushes the stool in the kitchen alongside the sink and reaches in to help mommy wash the dishes.

A florist? He loves to pick flowers in the backyard (aka dandelions) and presents them with pride to mommy.

A musician? He loves to make music, be it with real instruments, his (strong) lungs, or the pots and pans.

A scientist? He is very curious and very keen on discovering how all things work. Also likes to dissect small creatures, living or dead.

A veteranarian? He loves animals (including said dissected creatures) and is especially fond of cats and dogs.

A professional soccer player? Perhaps not. (yet) Would rather place the ball in the recycling bins than kick or throw it.

A telephone operator? His absolutely favorite "toy" is the phone. He spends hours placing it on the charger and picking it back up again. Fortunately mommy figured out how to lock the keypad, this way there will be no more calls to Abuelita at 3:00AM her time.

A model? He loves to pose for the camera and then run quickly to see the digital image on the camera screen. Very possible with his good looks (would love to say from his momma's side but who's kidding who, he looks exactly like his daddy!)

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!!!
