    I caught DS4 playing last month - standing in front of his whiteboard with a toy microphone talking to his toys. He said "Hi my name is [name], Im an astrophysicist, today I am going to teach you about the planets & the universe" then he started drawing in detail our solar system & drawing spiral galaxies.

    When I ask him what he wants to be, he usually replies astronaut (wants to live on Mars), Doctor and an astrophysicist

    hahaha love this thread!

    For DS3 it's a toss-up between "a surgeon who fixes the baby's bones in the mummies' tummies" and an astronaut so he can "fly my rocket to the sun and take my Mummy and Daddy and Jack (our dog)". I told him it's awfully hot up there but thanks for the invitation

    DD4 has recently decided to be an astronaut.
    Today, after I'd buckled her up in her car seat, she called me back to remind me, in a serious voice "if I am going to be an astronaut, I will need a rocket ship soon!" -"sure, my love, " I said, "we'll think of something."

    Well, as a rule I am quite resourceful, but this one I haven't come up with a solution for yet...

    DS8 wants to go to Lenoir Rhyne University in Hickory, NC, major in Political Science, and eventually become President of the United States of America.

    My DS8 wants to be an astrophysicist like his hero Neil deGrasse Tyson- except April-May when he's a stormchaser.

    DD7 wants to be a blue angels pilot or a marine hospital doctor.

    DD12 has lots of ideas: author illustrator, animator, bio-medical engineer who discovers which viruses cause which cancers and develops a vaccine for them, or a musician.

    DS5 wants to be carpenter who builds tiny houses out of recycled material that are cheap to build and can house homeless people. He loves to sit around drawing/tinkering and working on his "prototypes".
