Problem description

If the DatePicker is set up like this

now() = Dec

DatePicker::make( 'date' )
->minDate( October )
->maxDate( End of December )

When you click on the date field, the displayed month will default to minDate (October) instead of the current month (December).

Expected behavior

If possible, we should add an option to select the default focus month when clicking the date field or provide a way to prevent the focus from being forced to the minDate.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up the DatePicker with the following configuration:
   now() = March

DatePicker::make('date')
->minDate(April)
->maxDate(December)

2. Open the DatePicker by clicking on the date field.

3. Observe the displayed month:
   Instead of focusing on the current month (Dec), the DatePicker will default to the minDate (October).
