Tiny milestones

This year, Joey is very interested in celebrating little milestones. He reminded me for a month each time when I didn't get him a gift for ST. Joseph's Day and then for his half birthday. Today, he turned 8.7. This week, he will finish 2nd grade. Last Saturday, he finished his 2nd season of soccer. I thought less presents would get bought as he got older. I think I might be wrong.
