  2. Let me know how it goes...I was thinking about doing this for Jalen. He was asking me about it every day and I thought this might help him understand what a month away means. I'm glad he is excited but I'm also glad it's been a few days since he's asked me. I'm sure the excitement will start up again after we go to his open house this week.

  3. that's exactly why i tried it - even dylan doesn't have a very good concept of time beyond a couple days in the future. i figure this is a visual way of helping them to understand days. so far, so good!
