Times of the World

As many of you know, Diego loves numbers. His new interest is times around the world. He has learned that there are many different time zones around the world and he always wants to know what time it is in certain places. This all began because his buddy Israel now lives in Bosnia and he always wanted to call her and I would have to explain that sometimes she was asleep when he was awake and vice versa. So, he began asking what time it is in Bosnia at least 25 times a day - no joke. He has now added many places to his list of interest and they include:
Bosnia, Madagascar, El Salvador, Clifford (Canada), San Francisco, Washington, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Florida, China, London, Boston, Africa, Paris...and that is all I can think of right now, but I know there are a few more. He asks the times of these different places so many times a day that I can't even keep track. It probably won't be too long and he will have all the time differences memorized!

When I worked at a travel agency before I was married, we had several clocks on the wall with labels underneath with the different times that it was in all of those different world wide places. Maybe you could get him several clocks for his wall and label them so as he learns to tell time he can refer to the clocks on his wall! :)

That's so neat, A. He's such a curious kid, I love him!

We have 2 clocks for France and the US... that way I always know the time in France and don't even have to calculate, and I always know what my mom is doing!
