Today was dress up as what you want to be when you grow up day at preschool. The girl asked to dress up as a scientist and specifically requested a lab coat and glasses.

On the way to school she announced that she is going to be a “zoocologist”

This mommy is one proud scientist! (Even though I realize she will most likely change her mind). This kid will do amazing things, I’m sure!
