It's Always Fun When Grandpa (and Grandma) Comes!

My parents are planning a trip to visit us in January. To say Morgan is excited is an understatement. She keeps asking when they are coming. And, she understands "time" in order of events. So, rather than tell her what will happen every day until the middle of January, I decided to make a chain with her. It's pretty long, but she remembers every day to take a circle off. In fact, she says, "Mommy, it's not 15 any more (meaning Nov. 15). We need to take off the 15. Today is 16."

And, to keep Sadie from helping herself to our countdown chain, it is currently being hung on the valance in the living room. Attractive, huh?
