Countdown

Tyson has been counting down until his birthday for a very long time.  He surprises me with his number understanding.  On days that I would forget the count (come on, he's been counting down since like 60!) he would somewhat condescendingly tell me that, "Yesterday was 110, so today is 109, remember?!" 

Today, he reminded me that he has nine more days until his birthday.  As he started to tell me the days of the week until his birthday, noting that his birthday was on a Tuesday and that the Pumpkin Patch Field Trip was on a Wednesday, he made the dutiful statement,

"Yeah, I can wait nine more days until my birthday."

Good thing, too.

Maybe this is all part of his plan.  The suspense is killing us all.  We better have a grand birthday present for the boy that looks forward to his birthday enough to begin the countdown that early. 

Man, I hope he doesn't begin the countdown to Seven at 364!
