One of those things you discover when you have kids is that they know nothing until they learn it. Like the days of the week and time. They eat when they are hungry, they go to sleep when they are tired, and don't understand the concept of a weekend. Only us adults force it into some unnatural state of being. Ok, not just us. I have noticed my kids won't take naps because they might 'miss' something. Sigh. Then want to read 'one more book' when being put to bed at night.
Until now. My kids are learning about clocks, days, weeks and time in general. In fact, we now have up a little 'calendar' for the next couple of weeks. Each day before breakfast we are putting a star on that day. We review what is coming up in the days that follow. Like Grandma and Pop are coming next weekend. On the 20th we (Tater, Tot and Mom) fly to Pensacola to see Mammaw. And the 22nd is Tater's birthday. You can see my wonderful artistic creation below. And you can also see what I am a computer geek and not an artist.

I really should find some nice pictures on-line and print them out and glue them on to the calendar. But until I get the energy to do that...
You know...this is a great idea! My youngest really doesn't have that concept of time down yet (neither did her sister at that age). Didn't matter if were hours or days...whatever. This idea would really help. Thanks! I'm gonna try it.
