Mother-Daughter Calendars

The other day, my wife told me about a routine conversation that she has with our 3 year-old daughter almost every single morning right after she wakes up:

"Mom, what are we going to do today?"
"I don't know. We need to go downstairs and eat breakfast."
"What are we going to do after breakfast?"
"Maybe we can do a puzzle."
"What are we going to do after a puzzle?"
"Well, we're probably going to go to the library today."
"What are we going to do after the library today?"

...and so on; I think you get the idea. You might have even had this conversation before. Since this was happening day after day, and at times throughout the day, my wife decided to make life easier on herself by making a "calendar" for my daughter. She put it right underneath her own whiteboard calendar on the wall.

It's an old frame with Christmas wrapping paper behind the glass. Then she just printed off the days of the week on some card stock and created a stack of hand-drawn pictures of the potential activities they might do in a day. 

My daughter loves to check her own little calendar every day, and it saves my wife some breath, too. :)
