Ok Im not really bragging...I'm documenting so that my children will see that I REALLY tried to write down EVERYTHING they did.
I did this with Hannah and the Opera House.
and now it is Caleb's turn.
Caleb has never been the kind of kid to use the words "One Day" lightly.
He thinks long and hard before he uses the phrase "One day I'm gonna".
As a matter of fact, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I
have heard him say it -since he started talking.
The very first time I heard this from him, He was 5 years old.
now keep in mind he is the oldest child, so when I say 5..
what I really mean is 12(mentally).
He and I were lying on bean bags in the living room and he was watching Star Wars.
He said, " Mama, Do you know that this is not real? "
"Yes", I said.
"Did you know that Harrison Ford wanted to be Luke Skywalker and the director told him NO!"?
" No", I said, "Who told you that?"
"Daddy..He knows everything about Star Wars. Did you know that Harrison Ford is an Actor?'
"Yes I Do..Why?" I asked.
" Well..One day I am going to be an actor and make a movie", he said.
"Really?! That would be cool- but I thought you said you wanted to be a doctor like Daddy and PawPaw and Uncle Greg" I asked.
" I do", he said. " That's my WORK job... I am going to be an actor for fun!"
Here we are- 12 years later- and this weekend Caleb shoots the first scenes of his very first motion picture .
Low Budget, Non-Union..but still a movie... LIGHTS , CAMERA, ACTION..The Whole 9 yards.
He is pumped and I am proud!
Nothing cooler than being around to see your child have his or her "One Day".
that is so cool! what an awesome mom you are for supporting his dream. is he still gonna be a dr?
ReplyDeleteI just love how I am still kept in the loop these days. It makes me feel loved. Oh and what's this I hear about Mary Liz wanting to stay at your house that weekend instead of mine? Is my house not cool enough for the Liz??
