Using His Muscle

As we unloaded the truck tonight, I mentioned that I REALLY needed some help carrying some of the heavy chemicals for the swimming pool. Our oldest son is away this week at camp, and our youngest has been taking great pride in being the "man around the house" while Daddy is at work. Before D. left for his trip, his little brother had been doing sit ups every night alongside him while he prepared for camp. J. has always loved impressing strangers with his chivalry to hold the doors open for people while we are out and about. But being the sole hero to my daughter and I has been a real honor for him the past couple of days. So of course when I asked for help, he bit fast. "Oh, Mom, let me get that for you! I KNOW I can carry it. I've been working out!"

What a sweetie! My boy can barely lift a 3 liter bottle of Coke, but I let him at every opportunity.

Keep that chivalry going. His future wife is going to love you for it!
