She just might be type A. :)<BR/><BR/>The girls love big chunky checklists that I make with big check boxes and poorly-drawn pictures of the activities (even little activities like brushing hair/teeth, eating a snack, putting away books). If it's on the schedule they're stoked to get it done, so they can put a check next to it. Plus, I can make it up as we go, and don't have to plan the whole day. If you draw really big you can fill up the paper with only four or five things, and it looks satisfyingly full. We keep it on a clipboard that hangs from the wall, when in use. They've been preconditioned to do this because of Blue's Clues. They even have a little song when they check things off and see what's left. "We put our shoes oooon. . . Check! What's next?" Anyway, it's easier than charts and color coding. That would drive me nuts.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820328973177170020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-1149395127702787442006-06-03T21:25:00.000-07:002006-06-03T21:25:00.000-07:00my favorite question!
