New York City Apartment

New York- Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of visiting New York City. That dream passed to my oldest son Ethan because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lived there. Along came Drew. My youngest son. I do not know where his passion to visit New York came from, but he too dreams of going to New York.
Kids are known to make forts, but this weekend when Drew was creating a fort behind the couch we determined that it was not a fort that he was building, but a "New York City Apartment". His apartment has all the imenities...bed, shower and even a kitchen. The other night he was taking food from the pantry and the fridge over to his apartment. I asked what he was doing and he said he was putting it in his kitchen for breakfast. (I let him keep the non-parishables but drew the line at the cheese and milk.) Two nights ago Drew asked if he could sleep in his apartment. So my oldest who hates sleeping in his room asked if he could sleep in the "apartment" with him. So I said yes. I was sitting on the couch watching TV and I heard Drew tell Ethan, "You can't stay here tomorrow night because my girlfriend is coming over." I about died laughing. He is 3!! What a funny little guy with a huge imagination! When he woke up he got his orange out of his kitchen and sat and started peeling it. Then he took a shower to get ready for work. When we came home yesterday, he told me that it rains a lot in New York.

I am not sure where the New York thing came from, but I am encouraging his imagination. One day me and my boys will fufill our dream and make our trip to NYC, however for the time being we will always have New York in my living room behind the couch to visit.
