Career goals

I try to talk to Ben a lot about different jobs that people do, and how most people we see when we are out and about are doing some type of job.

So he's been thinking about what kind of job he wants to have. First, he decided that he would just go to work with Daddy and they could even share clothes when Ben is big enough. Then he became very interested in firemen, and decided that he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. ("But I have to buy a firetruck first!")

Then he figured it out - he can do both! So now he will be an auditor with Daddy, and also a fireman. Yes, my boy, you can do it all!

Susanna, who has recently become very interested in dogs (peer pressure), has seen ads on the telly for "Dogs Trust", and decided that she will work there when she grows up. We're secretly hoping she takes it one step further and becomes a veterinarian, but no pressure...
