Exhaustion

At a BC day celebration today, Legend gets an "unlimited" pass to the bouncy house, truly limited only by his own stamina.

Legend bounces and bounces, slides and climbs, and bounces some more. Eventually, it is clear that he has run out of steam. But, he would be loathe to admit it.

He climbs to the top of the bouncy house slide and stops and just sits for a moment. There is a line forming behind him.

Daddy - "Come on Legend! Your turn!"
Legend's face scruntches as he whines a little, not sure how to get out of having to slide again.

Daddy - "Let's go bud!"
Legend forces himself to slide down, but fakes a foot injury half way down.
Legend - "Ow! I hurt my foot. Have to come out. I'm hurt. Ow!"

The perfect excuse to leave the bouncy house while saving face, and get a ride from Daddy back to the house too.



After Daddy carries Legend all the way up the big hill to my parents' house, he finally puts his son down in the driveway.

Legend stands on the pavement, hangs his head and slumps his shoulders, clearly exhausted.
"Daddy, you're heavy."
