What will she be?

Today, I watched a very perplexed Mike sitting in front of the T.V. with the remote in his hand and a furrowed brow. When I questioned the cause of his frustration he commented " Mackenzie has gotten a hold of the remote and locked all the channels!" As he carried on, trying to undo what our 14 month old daughter had done, a funny thought popped into my head. If things we saw Mackenzie do now were some somehow an indication of what she would be as a grown up, what professions could we choose for her? Here's what I thought:

Cable installer ( or uninstaller as it may be): Considering that it took a trained professional 6 hours to install our cable, and our one year old mere seconds to uninstall it, I think she could swing it.

Hair Dresser ( or undresser as it may be): Mackenzie LOVES to ride atop our shoulders. For Mike, this is the ideal way to carry her. For me, it's not so easy. Not only have I lost once attached hair by the tiny fistful, but should I decide to put any sort of clip or pony tail holder in my hair, it's out in a matter of second.Plus, Mackenzie can sport the bed head with the best of 'em!

Interior designer: Apparently, my taste is all wrong since Mackenzie morning routine consists of stripping the couches and chairs of any pillows and decorative throws. She prefers that all her treasures be strewn about the room in a manner we've come to know as " Hurricane Mackenzie".

Electrician: One of her first words was " light!" ( or, in Mackenzien " YIGHT!") and the fascination has not died down. Her newest compulsion is turning on and off each light as she leaves and enters a room.

Veterinarian : While our cats may not agree that she has the best bed side manner, she sure does love all things furry!

Hostess: Quite the friendly girl, Mackenzie greets each person she sees, whether they acknowledge her or not! While it wasn't uncommon for her to be heard shouting " HI!" to every person who passed by, she has now taken to blowing kisses to each cashier , bank teller or grocery worker. My favorite was the kiss she blew to the elderly lady who said she liked Mackenzie's outfit. Girls do love compliments!
