hang on for 2 seconds!

"mom, could you come here please?"

{very calm}

"what do you need?"

{i was annoyed}

"mom could you hurry please?"

{still calm}

i'm thinking "hurry?"

{maybe i'd better get up and see what he's doing, but no rush}

again brennan says,

"mom, please come here. i'm in the pantry. hurry please?"

{calm again, very sweetly}

so i get up with a sigh b/c i've just sat down for the first time all day.

but he did ask nicely.

i found him stuck and clinging to the pantry shelves.

"mom, my hands are slipping, could you help me?"

and he knows that if he cries i won't do a darn thing,

but if he talks in a "normal voice" i'll help him with anything.

smart kid.

i couldn't stop laughing.

so naturally i told him to, 

"hang on for two seconds, i've got to get my camera!!!"

he didn't fall.

and i got my picture;)

this is what he was reaching for:

man after my own heart.
