Nathan and understanding months, weeks, days

Nathan's been asking when Christmas is over the last few days. So I told him it was about 2 months away. "Wow, that's not long, 1,2". Hmmmm, yeah, that's about 8 wks. "Oh yeah" (still sounding encouraged). Yeah, about 60 days. "Oh man, that's aaaaggggeeeeessssss". So this evening right before he was heading off to bed he decided to make a calendar of the two months so he could cross off the days (oh boy, it's going to be a long 2 months lol) - especially since he's not going to start crossing off till November. So we got down the calendar and he wrote out November's dates. Then made a start on December and this time wanted to write the days at the top of the page too. He got up to Tuesday before deciding to finish that off tomorrow.

I then asked him if he remembered listening to the story of baby Jesus that we read last year, which he didn't. He then wanted to get the Bible out and read the story of Noah's Ark (since I was tidying up our Noah's Ark puzzle at the time). So we sat down and did that (we are non-Christian so this not a part of our daily life) which lead to conversations about violence and what it was. He was a bit disturbed that God left all the babies and children behind to drown and found it difficult to understand why that would be. I guess I'll be off googling tonight to widen my own understanding when facilitating this sort of discussion!
