Lydia needs to constantly know what time it is, what day it is, what the date is, and every single thing we are doing in the day so she can get organised.
A while ago we bought her a clock, so she would stop coming into our room before 6am asking us if it was 7.00 so she could start her day.
And this morning, Lydia and I made a calendar. Lydia really enjoyed colouring in the activities and drawing some of them. We only made it this morning but it is already working wonderfully. Lydia now gets to go put up our daily activities every morning and she knows exactly what we are doing :)
It has also made her stop asking when we are going to Nanna and Papa's because she can see we are going in 4 days :)
I'm not a very crafty person (as you can tell from the pictures) but Lydia and I did have fun making this together this morning. I'm sure we will make a better one someday but for now, Lydia is very pleased to know that today we are staying home and she needs to tidy her room and toy room...what a day to start on !
Lydia certainly looks happy with her finished product. I have a "to do" list, because otherwise, I find I forgot to do the most important things. It helps kids to have a calendar when they are waiting for something to happen. When Church Camp was coming up I made a count-down for Olivia, William, and Erin because they kept asking how long it was till Camp.
