Birthday Countdown


Georgia is almost 4.  We are now counting down the days.  She talks non-stop about her birthday.  She started counting down at the 6 week mark.  Now that we are less than one week away I told her today that she has only 5 more days until her birthday.  She started crying when I told her this because all that she understood was the "5" part and didn't realize that "days" is less than "weeks".  So I made Georgia the above calendar to explain the proximity of her birthday.  We will mark X on each day until we reach Friday.  I think she understands now that her birthday is very soon, but I'm still not 100% sure that she gets the difference between days and weeks.
