This past weekend, we visited the campus of Stanford University. I've made it no secret that I would love for my son to go to Stanford for college. And preferably move on to med school and then we can all live happily ever after. Is that too much to ask? Granted, he is four but he already desires to be a paleontologist so I figure...bones are bones. Right? RIGHT? In my on-going effort to persuade him that attendance at Stanford would be in the family's best interest:
Me: Do you want to go here for college?
Him: College? That's like school, right?
Me: Yes.
Him: Ummmm, yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be going to college.
Me: Oh come on, it's like one big party.
Him: Oh, party? Oh, I'll go to the parties.
At the moment he is not a fan of Pre-K. ("It's so boring I'm gonna die if I go, Mama.") So 'school' of any sort is obviously not high on his priority list. In fact, all he talks about are his little friends' birthday celebrations. Let's hope this is not foreshadowing.
He's currently shining a flashlight into his eyeball so I'd better sign off. Plus, I need to go make a list of all the things I'm gonna buy with his college fund. He can fund his own partying! I did.

Stanfurd??? Go Bears!
Funny, T doesn't want to college right now either. In fact he throws savings bonds (notifications not the real thing) away because he says he's not going. Mainly because he just wants to stay at Lilliput (his preschool) forever.
Very funny!
We all have high hopes for our kids :)
Here's to them not deviating too much from the plan!

LOL, isn't this a fun age? I am constantly telling Ethan to stop looking directly at the sun. Der.
I'm grateful that Ethan is loving school so far. But it's a far cry from circle time and dress up to quadratic equations and Shakespeare.
I haven't even thought about him going to college (except to joke that moving to college is probably what will finally put an end to co-sleeping), because I cannot bear the thought of my beeebeeee leaving home.
