For the last 4 months my oldest boy has had one. Everything is quite grand there from the views to the transportation to the toys and food... everyday.... he describes new and exciting things about his "office".
At first, i admit, i was a little annoyed after a month straight of every time we get in the car him insisting on visiting this said "office"... and demanding directions from the back seat...and the utter disappointment when we arrive back at home without visiting it.
I mean how could i visit his "office" ???? It takes a car going "right and then left and then right and then straight and then left and then right...(and well you know)" and an airplane, and a boat, and i am sure at one time there was a helicopter involved?!
Also for a time i was annoyed when i told him not to do something or to do something it would assuredly be followed with "well i don't do that at my office" or "at my office i do that". i did find a way to cure that one. "Well dear, you shouldn't do it at your office either it is dangerous/rude/not nice there as well". Which usually puts him in his deep thought mode.
Now, it has become constant daily humor in our household, discovering new things about this "office".
Somehow, like always. i see God teaching me a lesson through my little one. = We should do everything here that we would do there, and not do things here that we would not do there. ... For a long time my "office" has been somewhere else in the world (around 20 years really since i new i wanted to live in a mud hut in Africa or straw loft in the Maldives).... but i am here... in the ol' VA... and i am learning to not only be content but be here fully... without always dreaming about my "office".
He has been asking me... why aren't you doing what you dream about doing at your "office" here in the ol' VA?
Big stuff! hmmm... anyway...
here is a blurb of a muffled conversation from my almost 4 year old about his office.
