Self-indulgent cute kid post

Last night my 3-year-old daughter and I were doing a jigsaw puzzle in her room before bed. Perhaps impressed with my skills at putting Caillou's face and shirt together in a matter of minutes, she stopped her work, looked at me, and said "Mommy, I want to be you when I grow up." I said "Thanks, Honey," and then, perhaps privately congratulating myself on my decision to trade my career for motherhood, I said "I want to be a Mommy when I grow up." She again stopped her puzzling. "But Mama - you're already up!"
