Countdown

Elijah asks, "Mama, how many days till I go to Nana's house for my sleepover?"

"Four."

"Yeah, yeah, that's right because yesterday it was five."

The next day Elijah asks, "Mama, how many days till my sleepover at Nana's?"

"Three."

"Oh yeah, that's right. So tomorrow it will be two days, and the next day it will be one day, and then the next day will be MY SLEEPOVER! WOOHOO!"

Mom wonders, "What am I going to do when he learns to count down the hours?  I can't handle hourly updates.  Okay, okay, I won't tell him until we're driving to Nana's.  Whew."
