Waiting... or not

What a difference 2 1/2 years make!

Mathias is well aware that Christmas is coming. He knows what date it is (thanks to Aunt B's calendar) and how many days remain to the big day. He keeps track. He is very excited about it. He can't wait and certainly exemplifies the expression "being like a kid at Christmas".

Johan on the other hand... is happily bumbling along in his day. He enjoys all the Christmas lights and the candy from the calendar. But time is much less relevant to him. He will wake up one morning and we'll tell him it is Christmas. Then he will be excited about it. But it will come as a surprise. Right now, he makes no distinction between two days, two weeks, and two months.

But come Saturday, they will both be like kids on Christmas.

Lucky them!
