A Linguist? Okay.
Yesterday, on the way to his play date, I asked Sawyer two tough questions.
#1: What is the most important thing to you in this life?
#2: What subject (I listed several as examples) do you think you could study for your whole life and never get bored?
The answer to the first one came with grunts and the phrase "That's a tough one, Mom". After some deliberation he said- "My family. All the people in my family." I love that answer. It was totally his, not coached at all. I didn't even give examples for this question.
The answer to number two was a little tricky and required some thought. When he broke the silence, his answer was "Languages. I want to learn all the languages. I want to be able to say all the words I know in English in all the other languages." Amazing!!! He followed up with this "A scientist. I want to be a scientist who studies languages. What are those called?" I told him, "A linguist." He says, "I want to be a linguist." Well, okay then. Guess we need to invest in some Rosetta Stone sets and I need to brush up on my American Sign Language and Spanish skills.
I absolutely LOVE that he came up with languages as the answer to question number two. I can tell he put thought into it as well. I wish I could open his brain and see that thought path because I'm sure it would enlightening.
Today we were in the car coming back from the Aquarium of the Pacific. He added some information to the idea of what he wants to be when he grows up. In addition to a linguist, he added famous and make millions of dollars. I'm not sure if we can roll all three into one but if anyone can... Sawyer can!

Sawyer Does WACC's Family Matters for 3/8/15
Sawyer is no newbie when it comes to being in front of the camera. If you don't know where he got his start, click here. Anyway, two weeks ago Josh (the service producer) asked Jake if he (we) would be alright with Sawyer doing the Family Matters segment for an upcoming weekend. Jake and I discussed it and decided it could be a fun opportunity for Sawyer. Plus, when someone seeks out your kid, for qualities you want to foster, it's that much harder to find a reason not to.
Man! I wish y'all had been in that sanctuary when this aired. The laughing and applause rang out. If you missed it, don't worry. I'm sharing it right here.
This is only a glimpse of the character our Sawyer is turning out to be. We love him and we are so proud of his abilities, heart, character, and overall being. God surely blessed us with this kid!

More Tooth Problems
PRAYER FOR SAWYER
He will most likely be having yet another tooth extracted tomorrow in the 8am hour.
He told me his tooth felt like it was "moving". I checked it and saw it was CRACKED across the top.
He's doing fine. There were a few tears, but they were more from a place of "why me" than fear.
Me, on the other hand. Moms know what I mean. That feeling of failure because "I'm supposed to be taking care of this little person and their [teeth are falling out]!!!"
So, while you're praying for Sawyer, please pray for me too. A little.
