I remember my parents doing something similar with us when we were little! I loved it!

This is a good idea. I like how you’re balancing bribery with nurturing literacy ;+)

When Clare was younger and we went for our week and a half CO trip her and I made a paper chain…one ring for each day we were gone. Then she tore a ring off every day to see how many days it’d be until we saw her again. Not as much fun as a book every day, but for a long trip it worked. Another fun thing we did a year ago, was sent her post cards from a couple of states we drove through telling her where we were, and when we’d see her. As she gets older we’ll probably include a map of sorts so she can see where we’re at in relation to her.

that’s an awesome idea! We usually only had the “What did you get me?” anticipation to hang on, this is much more fun!

That is such a good idea!! I’m lucky that my kids don’t have seperation anxiety either- but I’m sure a little gift for each day that we’re gone wouldn’t hurt anything.

my parents went on a trip each September for business. There would be a line of gifts in bags at the top of her closet, one for each day they were gone. There would be a note telling us that she was praying for whatever activity we had going on that day and telling us how much she loved us. We had all kinds of gifts, I am sure most were from the dollar store. It helped us to visualize how long they would be gone and it gave us a little something to look forward to.

This is a great idea, especially since my husband is the big ol’ gift giver. Our youngest still has bouts of “Where’s my mommy?” anxiety, so this will be a great distraction.
