(the) impatient one
Since English is not as rich as Czech in words in general, no surprise there is no real equivalent here...I was that kid though and I think this fits the bill just fine :) variations abound...

such an impatient little boy/he can't wait to...
This really depends on the context
Could be:
"he's/you're such an impatient little boy"
or
"he can't wait to unwrap his presents"
something in that vein

antsy little boy
When you are talking about kids waiting for presents, ANTSY could also be used. It has got a positive connotation of being impatient and enthusiastic. So it depends on your context whether it would fit.
