When Payton was 3, we were in the pool swimming early Summer, May 2009 and Payton was being cute and sweet swimming and an older lady in our community asked Payton how old she was. Payton told her 3 and going on 40 (which now she is 4 going on 40 or so she says). The lady then asked her what do you want to be when you grow up. What was said next was where we had pick up our jaws. Payton said an "Architectural Artisit." Well this was not something we(mommy and daddy) had sicussed with her at all and we were not sure where she got this or who she heard it from. The lady then asked her well where will you live. She said "When I am biggier I want to be an architectural artist and live in New York with mommy and daddy." The lady asked her why New York. Paytons response was "Thats where all the big buildings and museums are." I think the lady was so floored because she floated off on her noodle and kept looking at Payton as if he she was in shock and then everytime she came to the pool and we saw her there she would ask her the same thing and get the same response. I think she thought she was so young she would change her mind from day to day or that we had planted this into her brain. I promise you, this was the first time either Tony or I had heard this information. Now in saying this it does make sense why she loves to build draw and design pictures, mega block houses and structures and now her newest favorite is Lego creations. I have taken pictures of some of her designs to share with you below:
 |
| This is Paytons Puzzle Box house. If you look closely you can see the table and chairs in the living room on the second floor. |
 |
| This is Paytons house of Jenga. She decided after playing Jenga, that the pieces were better suited for building the foundation and layout for the house. She said she needed more pieces to make bigger walls and ceilings but the bigger room is the tv room and playroom. |
 |
| This is Payton's Lego house. She asked meto be sure if I was posting this to point out in the room on the top right the potty, sink and bathtub. The room on the bottom left is the kitchen, notice the table and orange chairs, the counter and stove and refrigerator. The room to the bottom right is the bedroom and the room and the top right is the sitting room. On the left Side is the deck outside where Dora and Boots are chillin'out. |
 |
| This is the Tot Lot she said where the kids can go play in the sand or climb the wall and slide down into the pool or even dive off into the pool. |
 |
| This is her treehouse fun. She said Swiper is hiding in the back of the tree. She has two sets of ladders that climb to the room of the tree to see everything there is outside. |
 |
| While babysitting one afternoon the girls came to get me very excited of their sculptures and Payton put it. M had made a small building of 5 of 6 blocks consisting of yellow, green and purple to represent her mom and dads car, and Payton had built a sculpture taller than she was with various floors...6 I think...Notice a Barbie Dog on each floor. She stood on her bed to get the final roof pieces done she said and it is on wheels so it can be moved easier. Would this be "High-rise Trailer living?" |
