Birthday Countdown

During all of the Easter preparation and celebrating, Xavier became confused and thought that his party at school was his birthday party. For a week, we explained to him that we were celebrating Easter, not his birthday, but he just didn't get it. He had been to Charlie's birthday a couple months prior and was stuck on the idea that he was next. To avoid his devastation, I decided that our craft one evening would be a paper link countdown to his birthday/Luke's arrival. He helped me assemble it and then we hung it up in his playroom.

He has enjoyed taking down a link each night and I think he understands now that he still has 60ish days to go... :)
