Calendar

Siem had given Abi an invitation to an enchanted birthday party. Abi asked when it would be, and Priscilla showed her the calendar with numbers for the days. It was day 10, and Siem's party was on day 19. Abi looked carefully.

We discussed the months (why are there other numbers?) and the names and numbers of the months. Abi counted down each day, but the day before fell sick with flu. She was brave in agreeing to stay home.

A present was wrapped an left in Siem's parents' communications box at childcare the next week. Siem had left a party bag with lollies and trinkets for Abi in her parents' box. Abi was excited and her mother reluctantly let her eat one of the lollies before dinner. However Abi was quite tired from not napping and the long day at childcare, so descended into a tantrum to ask for another lolly after dinner. The one lolly a day rule was maintained by parental agreement.
