What Day is it Momma?

With great anticipation our family is taking a little beach vacation starting tomorrow. We are all excited and looking forward to time with the waves! Each day Rainbow enjoys asking me while looking at the wall calendar (yes we still have one!) "what day is today ?" Everyday we discuss and she finds the number. Only recently we have begun to hand write in some upcoming milestones . I was renascent about doing this in order to limit anxiety about the future and truly preserve the moment. However, what I am learning by marking a few of these special events on in with a big blue sharpie, is that Rainbow is now counting the days to that event as well recalling what the events are. I am not observing anxiety but more of an anticipation of things in the near future of her life. Of course, breakfast after she awakens today is also very exciting;)
