The mind of a two-year-old

We were on our way to pick up Charles at the airport last week. Both boys had fruit shoot drinks in the back of the car. Jack's booster seat has a cupholder, well actually two, built into it. Theo's car seat has none. Jack kindly asked Theo if he would like to use one of his cupholders. Theo confidently said, 'No, I am going to ask for a cupholder for Christmas.'

I pointed out to Theo that his birthday was only two weeks away and Christmas is six months away. Theo said he still wanted the cupholder for Christmas.

Maybe he thinks he gets better gifts for Christmas. Or the cup holder is too practical for a birthday gift!

Patience is a virtue. Perhaps Theo is practicing delayed gratification which is a bit unusual for a almost three year old.
