When we were in the Hawaiian exhibit I saw a large volcano painting and noticed the artist's first name was Ambrose.
Me: Look buddy! The person who painted this is named Ambrose too!
Ambrose: Whoa!!!!!! (cuddles up to me excitedly and stares at the painting amazed)
Me: Do you think you'd like be an artist too someday?
Ambrose: (pulls away- offended) I already AM an artist!
Me: Yeah that's true! Should we go home and paint some oceans and volcanoes too?
Ambrose: Yeah, except for maybe I don't have all the supplies. I think I need to get more supplies. (Where on earth did he learn the word supplies??)
Me: (a little astounded) Yeah, ok. Let's get you those supplies.
Somebody get this boy some supplies! He is an artist after all.

Wow! Way to be, Ambrose! And way to go, Steph! Taking the kids to an art museum -- how great are you?!?
Duh Mom, of course he is an artist. How could the son of Stephanie and Thomas NOT be an artist. You guys are awesome!
I love him, buy him some supplies.
Awww the little artist! He would get along with Benson, who also loves art. I liked your label for this too... this is our conclusion for all the random words our kids come up with too. :)
Asher Lev.
hilarious!
ambrose you're a professional already.
That kid is hilarious. Wish I could actually meet him in person. Guess I need to make a little trip to the island (wouldn't that be lovely)! Thanks for sharing your cute kids stories!
I'm glad you guys finally got there! Did you love it? Obviously The Artist Formerly Known As ... did :) Wish I could have tagged along!
when i saw the title of this post, i had major flashbacks to eng 251 and teachers wearing night caps...
Brilliant! Seriously, we adults (no offense, truly!) are always looking to the future, someday instead of acknowledging the present, what we already are. Children are so wise.
