The Suspense is Killing Him


The presents usually don't get put under the tree until Christmas eve, since Jacob has a tendency to just start opening presents, whether they are for him or not (until then, they reside stacked up on the bathroom vanity in our bedroom). Every day starting December 1, Brandon asks for a hint to one of his presents. He gets a hint ("one of them will be wheel-y fun" and "one of them breathes fire", etc.) but according to him, it's not fair that he doesn't know which present the hint is referring to. Since we're opening presents early this year, I put them out under the tree while they were at school on Friday. This was Brandon's first chance to actually get to touch the packages and he went through and shook them all. Judging by the sounds he knew at least one of them was legos (yep), by the shape of one that it was a transformer (yep), and by the hint that "one of them was busted" that there must be Mythbusters collection 2 dvd set in there (yep). The rest he had no clue on. Good thing he had only another hour to wait!
