After the kids have repeatedly asked me "when is daddy coming home,mommy", and by repeatedly, I mean over and over and over, I decided to go ahead and make them each a countdown chain for their bedrooms. This chain is just counting down till daddy comes home for R&R, but they love waking up each morning and taking a link off their chain. The chain has managed to cut down (somewhat) on the repeated questions.

So, how do you help your children countdown?

Good idea, Mom....you are so creative.
You deserve a countdown in pedicures or massages! :)
That is such a great idea! Your kids are adorable!

We did a chain for R & R, but my oldest was still a bit too young to grasp it. I think it is a great idea for kids though. And I love that yours are red, white, and blue.
Love this idea!!! I know they are going to be so excited to see the chain get smaller and smaller! Can you imagine their faces when the last one comes off!!! Precious children! :)
