Where it going?

Many of you have heard us talk about our kitchen remodel project. Well, it is finally here! I am am packing up the kitchen, then packing up the kiddos and myself and heading to MN while Eric works on the kitchen. I will avoid having kids around without a working kitchen and he will avoid having a little shadow and helper constantly around the corner - or under foot.

A couple of days ago I started to pack up the kitchen. Simon kept asking me what I was doing. I always answered "I'm packing up the kitchen", which prompted the response of "why". I usually said something like Mommy's getting a new kitchen or Daddy's fixing the kitchen. One time he said "kitchen broke?" and I said yes; because if you look back to the posts of "the sticky" one will realize my kitchen is broken. He then proceeded to rattle off in question "cabinets broke", "counter broke", "sink broke", etc. I guess he will now learn the difference between fixing and improving.

But the sweetest moment was this afternoon just after his nap. He walks into the kitchen and looks right at me and quietly asks "Mommy, what you doing?" I said "I am packing the kitchen". He then questioned "where it going?" How adorable is that!!! His frame of reference is if we pack, we go somewhere. I didn't have the heart or energy to tell him it's going to the curb.

I am so curious to what he'll say when we come back home and the kitchen is completely different. Will keep you posted.
