Spring depression (literally “May Sickness”) is a thing because the traditional start of the year is in April, so a month later is when whatever new thing you started then (school, a new job, etc.) starts to lose its luster. Sort of the “Sophomore slump” only on a much compacted timeframe.

Ages ago, for my brother's first birthday, my grandma got him a silver rattle. The thing was stupid heavy, and she was mad he liked playing with the box more.

Maybe she wanted him to be a werewolf hunter. That's the only excuse I can think of.
