I finally finished
organizing all of the kitchen cupboards this week. It took me a little longer than I had hoped
but in between I organized the bathroom cupboards, washed, organized and put
away 18 months worth of baby clothes and did a quick, preliminary clean of
the office. Some days I feel like I’m
no further ahead and others days I can see everything slowly coming together. Next, I’m going to tackle the closets, then move
downstairs into the dreaded basement.
Wish me luck!
As motivation to organize the
kitchen, I decided that when I was done I would buy Ben the IKEA mini-kitchen. I’ve had my eye on it for a long time now; so
it was really as much of a treat for me as it was for him. I find it so much more rewarding to buy
something new for Ben that he’ll love than to buy something for myself. I guess that’s what happens when you become a
mother. Their joy becomes your own.
Yesterday morning, we went
to IKEA and bought the mini-kitchen.
Boris put it together after Ben went to bed and it was waiting for him
when he woke up. He spent the entire
morning opening and closing the microwave, cooking with his pots and pans on the
stove and moving his play food from one cupboard to another. Pure joy.
