Do they BOTH do that? At about age five, my son C#2 used correctly the words today, yesterday and tomorrow; his twin brother C#3 said this day, the day before this one, and the day after this one.
Currently (age 6) C#2 knows the days of the week, and C#3 has to ask him every morning whether it's a schoolday or not.
What can I say... time is relative to the observer :)
Yes, they both do. They seem to agree on conceptions of time, though Curie is particularly apt to say something is taking too long and Dalton more often complains about something happening every day. "Every day Curie goes down the stairs first." Recently, we discovered that the reason they always ask if it is a school day is not, as we thought, because they just want to know what the plans are for the day, but because they know they can watch some TV on non-school days.
