Sigh...

Troy sure sighs a lot. He’ll say something to us, which we interpret as a question or clarification on something. And we’ll give him a suitable explanation, which isn’t always necessarily what he wants to hear. And he’ll sigh.

Or we’ll explain to him why he’s not allowed to do something, which he believes is fun and therefore open to him. And he’ll sigh.

Or he’ll say something to us, and we’ll reply, but there’s a higher than likely chance that our response had nothing to do with what he said to us. And he’ll sigh.

It’s a big, dramatic sigh too. With a big, dramatic exhalation of air. And sometimes he’ll throw his hands up in the air while doing it just for emphasis, which really gets me. Its like he’s so much smarter than the rest of us that he is frustrated by our stupidity?! And sometimes it makes me feel self-conscious, like I’m a failure for not understanding the complex mind of a one-year old.
