How do you get to Monday?

We explained to Elias last week that Monday we would be going on an airplane to go to Papa-G's house. Flying on planes is one of his most favorite things to do, so he excitedly said "Yeah!!" and proceeded to tell us that we needed to wake him up the next morning and take him to the airport (usually we have early flights and have to sweep kids out of bed on our way out the door WAY earlier than they would normally get up). We explained that we would not be going until Monday, and his immediate question was "How do you get to Monday?" So I asked him what comes after Tuesday and he said Wednesday, then what comes after Wednesday, etc. He knows the days of the week, so he figured out how to "get to" Monday. Now it is Sunday and there is only one more day left- guess who is going to be excited today?!

For me, it will be a full day of finishing laundry, packing, sitting on bags to make them zip, etc. For Adaryll, it will be a FULL day of work attending service, 101, meetings, senior fuel, etc. For Elias, it will just be the day before he "gets to" Monday- what a blissful place to be!
