The Waiting Game

Time is a concept still lost on our precocious four year old. She uses the words week, month, year, hour, minute all interchangeably and seems to have no clue what they mean. Describing to her how long she has to wait to go to the zoo went a little like this:

Eden: So tomorrow we go to the zoo? After one more night time?
Me: No, we have one more day with Marcus here, doing our normal stuff, then we will wake up really early and go to the zoo.
Eden: Elly we get to go to the zoo in one more day--in one more night night--well we have a full day then we go to bed--[frustrated] I don't know when we get to go to the zoo!
