Okay, so my son will be 3 next month. Since August he has been asking if it is his birthday yet. Thinking that something concrete might help him undertand the temporal concept, I explained to him that it won't be his birthday until all the leaves fall off the trees.
For that entire day he would run to the window every two minutes and proclaim "Mommy the leaves are still on the trees." This has subsided to just a daily announcement now.
Upon catching him blowing on a tree yesterday I asked what he was doing. "Making the leaves fall off the tree so it will be my birthday."
Gotta give the kid points for trying.
