What are we doing today?

That is Caden's new favorite question.  Its the first thing he asks every morning, and it gets repeated multiple times throughout the day.  Sometimes, for variety, he'll ask "What are we going to do tomorrow?"  The kid's concept of time is a little lacking.  For example, anything that happened in a point in time before now is 'yesterday.'  So I took and idea I saw at my sister's house and made a weekly picture calendar.  At the beginning of the week I put pictures representing various activities on the days.  Each morning when he wakes up Caden can move the blue arrow to the new day and look at the pictures to see what we are doing.  Its cut down somewhat on the questions, and hopefully its helping him gain a concept of days and weeks.

You are brilliant! I might just have to take this idea myself and make something for my family too. Thanks for sharing! :)
