Good Idea! I usually try to keep a mental tally of who had the spiderman plate last…this is a much better system, I’m going to copy you!
My parents instituted this system when my sister and I were young. I had the even days, she had the odd numbered days (of the calendar.) It worked so well that now we are using it w/ our children as well. It’s a little more difficult when you have more than 2 kids, but it still works for me!
That’s a great idea! My son is too young (18 mos.) but when he gets a little older I will do this with him & his sister.
My oldest son and daughter are 22 months apart. Due to epilepsy and other issues, he was slightly developmentally delayed, and while he’s fine now, they’re pretty much on the same level with maturity and such. They’re even the same size (much to his consternation). So, in many ways, it was a bit like having twins (although I understand it wasn’t as challenging too!).
The “day” thing became a hard and fast rule in our home when they were about 3 and 5, and even though they’re now 13 and 11, its still in effect. The 5 year old gets her day too now though. We realized we were babying her quite a bit (she was a surprise, and a miracle baby) and I had to add her to the “day” rule because otherwise we were spoiling her over the other two without even realizing it.
Its a great rule and saves many dark hairs on Mommy’s head (although the gray ones gained previously appear to be here to stay!)
What a good idea. I’ll have to try this!
