What will he be?

My girls frequently say "I wonder what Alex is going to look like when he grows up." Then they wish he would hurry and grow up so they can find out.
I wonder what he'll be when he grows up.

Perhaps he will be a mathematician--he can already count by rote to 11.
Or a teacher--he's learning his letters by reading "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" several times a day.
Or an artist--you should see how the "artwork" he put all over the family room walls with a dry-erase marker.
Maybe he'll go into auto detailing--great pinstriping with pink sidewalk chalk all over the van.
Possibly landscape architecture--he rearranges the rocks and plants for us.
Motorcycle racer--he really moves on his Big Wheel.
Baker--you can see from the photo that he likes having his hands in the flour.
Escape artist (future Houdini)--he can maneuver the child-proofing better than some adults.
Fashion Model--unfortunately it's his sisters' dresses he wants to model.
Machine Operator--loves pushing buttons.
Track Star--he runs away quite quickly when he knows he has something someone else wants.
Gymnast--Climbing, twisting, rolling, swinging. Bring it on.
Hmm, so many more possiblities.

He has developed a very endearing habit: Whenever I hand him something, he will say, "Thank you, mom. " And if I tell him thank you, he'll respond, "Welcome." My little boy really is growing up fast.
