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

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

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...
