Conversations with N and e

Earlier this week, little e and I were having lunch. It was just the two of us, and e wanted to know where N and Daddy were. We talked about that N eats lunch at school now (he just started full days this term... it's still a little rocky!) And then I said daddy was at work... here's the rest of the conversation.

e: Is he flying?

me: No, daddy is in the tower today.

e: Oh

me: We've been to the tower, haven't we?

e: Yeah, I like the tower.

me: What's your favorite thing about going to the tower?

e: Eating. It's my favorite thing to do.

Just so you know, while in the tower we get to see jets land and take off. We have seen cargo planes fly by, seen a helicopter land, and hear the air traffic controllers talk on the radio. But e just cares about the food we take up for dinner... yup, he's got my genes!

As a comparison, N came home from school the same day super excited because they were building an airport in their classroom (complete with a walk-through security check!) He told me he had made an airplane for it in school that day. But he said it still needed, "a runway, taxiway, parking spots, and a control tower!" I said maybe he could help make those the next day. His eyes got really big and he said, "I won't have enough time in free learning time to do all that!" Yup, one kid loves airports as much as the other loves his dinner.

On another note, yesterday morning N said to me, "Mommy, I have a project for you!" He then preceded to pull the overflowing laundry basket out of his room. "Laundry!" Oh, lucky me. N, I don't think laundry can be a project, because a project is something you start, work on for a time, and actually finish. The laundry is never finished... never!
