Pagination not quite working

My pagination isn’t quite working. there are only 4 events and pagination is set to 3 per page. when i load the second page it loads the first event again on it’s own instead of the the last post.

My code is below. I used the kirby docs pagination structure. I’m pretty sure it’s not working because of the loop inside of my events loop but i have no idea how to correct it.

<div id="main-container">
    	<div class="content">
        	<div class="container">
            	<div class="row">
                	<div class="col-md-12 content-block">
                        <ul class="events-list">
                        <?php $events = $page->children()->paginate(3);
                            $i = -1;
                            foreach($events as $event) {
                                $i++; ?>
                                <li class="event-list-item">
                                    <?php $calendar = page('events')->children()->nth($i)->calendar()->yaml();
                                        foreach($calendar as $calendarEntry) { ?>
                                                <span class="event-date">
                                                    <span class="date">
