There are Seven Days in the Week

You know the old song from when you were a kid "There are 7 days, There are 7 days, There are 7 days in the week; Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday"  Well that's what was going through my head this morning with Noah.  He has his own names for every day of the week.  In his mind Monday is the start of the week so this is how our days are labeled:
 
Monday - Computer Day
Tuesday - The day the girls take ballet
Wednesday - Its the middle of the week and the only day he doesn't have something to associate it with so he refers to it as "the day before Music Day which is the day before Share Day".  (Yes, this is actually how he refers to it.)
Thursday - Music Day
Friday - Share Day
Saturday - Stay Home Day
Sunday - Church Day
 
Well today obviously is SHARE DAY!!!!  Noah started thinking about what to take yesterday evening.  Its the cutest process he gets all excited, starts thinking about what all his friends would like for him to bring and then decides he needs to sleep on it and pick a toy in the morning.  As usual he picks something with lots of pieces and I tell him he has to pick something else.  Today he was particularly disappointed with my answer because he wanted to take the Spongebob set his Erin gave him for Christmas to show his friends his bubble treasure.  I am so lucky that my telling him no didn't result in a level 3 meltdown as we were home alone and already running terribly late.  After much consideration, thinking, walking between his room, the living room, and the garage he finally settled on his bull dozer set.  I just love watching the wheels in his little mind turn as he considers who will like what toys better.  I think its so cute how concerned he gets about his friends liking what he takes.
