Roughly once a fortnight, Evan asks me whose birthday is next. I list off all of our siblings, parents, nieces, and nephew in order. He listens patiently until we reach January 12th. At that point his curiosity ends. Sorry Julie.
The result is a kind of like a hit list countdown. "One more sibling down, two nieces to go 'till it's me!"
He gets impatient in March, because it takes a long time until I say his name. Summer is good because my mom, brother, and I all get out of the way quick quick. He really starts asking in September. He forgets when Dean and Eden's birthdays are - they've upset the order of Parker to him.
Finally we get to November 1st. Then his birthday is "soon."
