All Wound Up

Someone in our house is all wound up about the holidays. Since her birthday in July she has been telling us what she wants for Christmas. She usually signs something like this, "Open presents, Christmas. Month is December, number is 25, 25th. Kimmie open present. . ." followed by whatever gift she is thinking of at that moment.

Now that the tree is up and gifts are under it, she is ready to go. The last two days she has tried to tell us that the "number is 25." We usually respond with, "What day is this?" She sighs, her shoulders sag a bit, and she tells us the correct date.

Waiting is so hard.
