Gimpy leg

Nolan has been known to be a little lazy from time to time and it has reached an all time high lately! He and I recently spent a little time in the cities with Auntie and Uncle and the cousins.  I needed to make a quick stop at a camera store while we were down there.  It was about 98 degrees and 100% humidity mind you,  and I was trying to get Nolan to walk with me around the block to find the camera store.  Nolan apparently deals with heat as well as I do! As soon as we started walking he said that he wanted to be carried.  I wasn't about to lug a 35 pound child around in 98 degrees and 100% humidity so I told him to walk.  At this point, he started to melt down... He started crying and saying, "my legs broken mama" and proceeded to drag one gimpy leg behind him.  Where in the world did he learn this???? We finally made it to the store and calmed down.  I wish I had thought to pull out the camera at that moment and take a picture of his gimpy leg but that was the last thing on my mind at the moment!  So, here is just a random picture of his innocent little face.  Don't be fool though, he is the puppet master!
