scheduled craftiness

we completed zoom's weekly calender! i found a tray at the thrift store and we used magnets! i was hoping to find actual magnets from the places we frequent, or at least a biz card or something to use, but we ended up making our own. okay, i did most of them, but zoom was working with me and did help color. he kind of lost interest - or didn't really catch the vision until some of them were complete. the garden one is my fav.

i couldn't figure out how to flip this photo??
anyhoo, this is what we do every night, arrange the magnets to prepare for the following day. there are still so many things that are not on the board, but we wanted to finish enough to at least start practicing.

one down side is just a developmental thing i am sure.
while i know he appreciates forewarning about events to come, he often will whine and say, "i don't want to go to the library tomorrrrrrrrow". not that he rules the schedule, but the cool thing about them being magnets is that, like life, we can make changes as needed for the family's best interest.
suggestions?

Oh man, this is wonderful too. What prompted this idea? Do you reference it throughout the day? I am so curious to learn more...!
