A shoulder to lean on

As I progress into my third trimester, the boys have seen me struggling with my weight. I have pain in the pelvic area, and, usually, by the end of the day, I tend to drag myself to move around.

I was touched by my sons thoughtful gesture...

Thytus and Nixon asked me why am I moving so slowly. I told them that I am getting heavier and it is more painful to walk. Innocently, both (at different times) offered their shoulder for me to hold on to.. so that I can put the weight on them instead. *sigh*

This lending a shoulder thing came up when Thytus had a bad fall and he felt pain when he had to walk. So, I asked Nixon to lend him his shoulder to help his anna.. Learning to help by lending a shoulder, I get the same sweet gesture for my pain… *sigh again*

But then again.. teaching them to help each other can make me laugh too!

Nixon complains to me that anna did not lend him his shoulder. I asked him why? “I got this scratch on my leg, and it is paining.” I looked at 'the scratch' and tried hard to not laugh. All I could ask is for Thytus to help him, even though I couldn’t SEE the scratch!
