Architect? or Contractor?

The princess has been showing shades of a potential future career in home building/design/renovation. We have been living in a construction zone as workers finally get our stairwells up and finished. Last week, as we were leaving, I said goodbye to the guys working downstairs, after which the princess called down, "Don't forget to do the upstairs." Such helpful supervisory skills just can't be taught!

As we plan for an even bigger renovation, the husband and I INCESSANTLY discuss our options, and the princess has clearly been absorbing it all. First, it began with her telling me, as she placed pillows all over the floor, which pillow was which new "room"- "This is the living room, the kitchen would become my bedroom, my bedroom would become the playroom, this would be the bathroom..." Such visionary skills just can't be taught!

Yesterday, we watched as she took a pencil, drew a new sketch saying, "This is the new kitchen, it's going to look like this. And this-" she drew a crescent shape-"is where we will put the bananas." Such attention to detail just can't be taught!
