Ian is obsessed with the time. Time of day. Time until we leave to go somewhere. Time until we head back home. Time until we will eat lunch. How long will the playdate lasts. How long is party going to be. How many minutes until we get there. It is getting out of control and borders on the obnoxious.
At first I was amazed at how well Ian could understand time and even do the calculations on various hour/minute equations. Ian would ask, "What time is the birthday party?" I would answer, "1:00pm to 2:30pm". Ian would then instantly come back with, "Oh, so it is 90 minutes long." Or, we will be driving in the car and the time on the radio would say 9:37am. Ian would tell me that we have 23 minutes to get there by 10:00am. It is pretty impressive for a kid his age to be able to have this level of comprehension, but it is also becoming tiring to answer his questions over and over again. Every time we travel somewhere new. Every time we arrive at said destination. Every time we get back home. Every time we talk about the plans for the next day. It doesn't end!
Ian has a watch, but it is a Thomas the Train design and he doesn't like to wear it. Believe me, I am going to change that and get him a watch he does like to wear. This week. In 2 days, 5 hours, 22 minutes and 13 seconds. :)
