Jake asks a lot of questions lately about things like time, days, miles, etc. And we talk a lot about seasons and holidays and months. And as always, I have been thinking of a way to visually explain it to him.
Well for the longest time, whenever I thought of a year calendar, I would see it in my head in the form of a clock, but going counter clockwise. Don't ask me why, this this just what makes sense to me -- it kind of reads left to right in a circle, if you think about it.
Anyway, today I made this (from scratch!) in Photoshop, and I'm going to have it printed at Winkflash as a 16x20 poster.

That is super cute! But my mind still wants to go clockwise :)

You are so creative! I swear you should market your designs to Pre-K schools. How cute would that be for a classroom birthday poster?
Great work!
