Calendar building

Right after we celebrated New Years, the kiddoes felt very interested in keeping track of the passage of time (another happy outcome of making resolutions and plans for the entire coming year).  I jumped on this frame of mind and pulled out some resources I've been holding onto .

The kiddoes (well Athena and Goblin anyway) built their own calendars that they plan to use to keep track of the days.  They have had calendars before but still always get lost during the weeks, since they have very little desire to pay attention to the days and months passing.  This time, since they have made their own personal calendars together, I am hoping they will feel more motivated and hopefully keep one another in check (everyone likes to show they're just as good or better than their siblings).


Goblin only made the first two months for his calendar (January and February), but he has been doing a pretty good job of marking off days as we go through the month.  Some nights he forgets, but usually he is very excited to cross out each day when he goes to bed.


Athena made the full year's worth of calendar pages along with fun holiday decorations.  She hasn't been crossing off the days, but she does tell me what day it is when she wakes up in the mornings usually.
 

Although Hulk said he wanted to make a calendar too, he never got around to it.  He was too busy reading Ten Apples Up on Top!.  And I can't say I'm unhappy about that distraction, though. :)
