"A little help here..."


Oh how this picture makes me laugh. Actually, it's how Matthew makes me laugh. He's got such a quick wit, delivers one-liners and come-backs like an adult at times. No idea where he might get that sarcasm from (ahem..).

We had gone for a walk after dinner the other night. He decided to ride his bike, even though I knew he'd get tired since he was sick and spent most of the day outside to begin with. But off we went for our 2 miles. When we got to the home stretch, he kept stopping to take a little rest. These rests can start to wear on my nerves, I just want to keep going, keep moving, and get home so we can all rest. But he's only (almost) 5. And he's got an insane amount of energy. So when he needs a break he deserves a break. So I try my best to not show my frustration.

Anyway, he got off his bike. Laid down on the ground and said "ahhh, that's better". Then  he sneezed so hard his legs and arms jerked up in the air. When he was done resting, he held his arms up and said "A little help here??" Pure annoyance in his voice, the same I try hard to stifle at the end of a long day at times. Hmm, perhaps I need to try harder ;-)

(Thanks for snapping the pic, Michelle!)
