Something

Thought I'd post something during our lull. Not much has been happening. I have been watching our friends' kids for about 2 hours every afternoon while she finishes her beauty school hours. The two boys, Michael (4) and Huey (almost 3) enjoy playing together and I enjoy a tad bit of baby with Unity (6 mo) before she goes down for nap. Fairly uneventful so far but the little bit of money will help us pay our taxes. And Jacob loves the play time. He drives me crazy all afternoon asking when they are coming. I finally bought a thrift store digital alarm clock for his room and he knows that they come at 3:15. This has helped.

I made Jacob a poster calendar for his wall so he can see all the months at one time and he can develop a better understanding of time. He loves it! He has known the months of the year and days of the week for a while but now he is applying his knowledge. When he asks what day it is or whether he has playschool I tell him to look at his calendar and he comes back to me with the answer. When he goes to bed at night he marks an X and says goodnight to the day.
