Always be yourself...unless you can be Batman!

Ok, I don't want to start off this whole blogging malarky being all negative and ranty, so today's post only really contains half a story. However, I wanted to share so here goes...

Today at school my youngest son (here after referred to as R) was asked to draw a picture of what he was going to be when he grows up. The obvious choice for any self respecting 6 year old boy is Batman, and that is exactly what he drew.

This was frowned upon by his teacher who told him he could not be Batman, as Batman was not real.

That is where I cut short the story as I was extremely vexed and I don't want to get all moany!

The long and short of it is, I tell my babies they can be anything they want, and can achieve whatever they set their mind to. I want to instil a belief that nothing is unobtainable if you work for it and want it badly enough. I want my children to grow up in the knowledge that its ok to want to be a super hero, there are worse things to aspire to surely? I want them to know that to have hopes and dreams is a good thing, and that an imagination makes life more interesting and fun.

So, remember lovely people; always be yourself, unless you can be Batman!

P.S FYI oldest boy (here after known as A) want to be a Krispy Kreme Donut seller!!
