I’ve been wondering what kind of career my son will want when he grows up.  He is always looks for an exit wherever we go and as an infant he could bust his way out of any swaddle.  It got me thinking that maybe our 16 month old little man is a regular Houdini.  Any day he will figure out how to escape his crib.  We are certainly doomed then as my mom was when I was his age.  Eeek!

I’m not so sure that being Houdini reincarnate is a solid career choice so I’ve made a list of the things he might want to consider.  Or not.

Here’s a few other things I’ve noticed that he gravitates towards.

He know how to turn the TV and DVD player on and off.

Knows how to operate the automatic door openers for wheelchair access.

Knows where all the exits are and tries to open windows or gates.

(TV Repair Guy or Electrical Engineer?)

Makes the craziest funny faces.  Like his Dad.

(Circus Clown? Class Clown)

Is fascinated with:  remote controls, IPhones, helicopters and airplanes, ceiling fans.

(Aeronautic Mechanic? Pilot?)

Loves hats of any kind, he doesn’t like to wear them, just put them on and take them off again and again.

(Chorus Line Dancer? Mad Hatter?)

Loves his music classses and turns any surface into a drum!

(The next Raffee? Taiko Drummer?)

Fascinated with water.

Turns taps on and off.

Loves his bath and will stick his head in the water to drink it.

(Jacques Cousteau-like TV Host?)

He loves to wiggle into small spaces.

He climbs on anything possible, gets down and repeats over and over.

He could climb onto the sofa before he could even walk.

(Professional Sherpa or Andes Rock Climbing Guide?)

Loves books, dinosaurs, rhinos, ducks, dogs, cats, birds and books with all these animals in them.

(Veterinarian? Librarian?)

I’m sure the the list could go on, but rather than me go on, I’d love to hear from you.

Did your child show special talents or interests at an early age that became part of his or her career path?

Thanks for reading.
