If Only Every Day Were March 10

Not a single day goes by where Charlotte does not bring up her birthday.  She has been talking about turning five since she turned four.  In picking her up from school, I often overhear her inviting her friends to her Princess party.  (Of course, what she gives, she can also take away.  She has also told me that so-and-so is not invited to her birthday party anymore.  It is funny to watch her use her party as a weapon.)  The challenge to all of this is that Charlotte’s birthday is still four months away!

If only every day were March 10.  Charlotte knows her days of the week, and she can recite every month.  But March 10 could be next week for all she knows.  So, I am going to buy her a calendar and telling her each day what day it is.  Hopefully, this will help her visualize that four months from now is still a while away.  With that said, I do think that it is cute that she is so eager to turn five.  I am also happy that she is already anxious to start kindergarten in August.  (In her mind, though, she starts kindergarten when she turns five.)

Speaking of Charlotte, she has a favorite iPhone app.  She loves Tinkerbell.  Hopefully, she will get the new Tinkerbell movie for Christmas….  In the meantime, I bought her an app called Disney Fairies Fly, where you can get the fairies to fly through various places within Pixie Hollow.  I found it fun myself, and Charlotte is starting to get the hang of it.  Now, she keeps asking me if I brought my phone every time we step into the car.  What was I thinking?
