Disappointment

The last couple of days were tough ones around here.  For whatever reason Evan was in a mood...and not a very nice one!  He was being fresh to mom and dad, mean to Logan and just not the sweet boy that he generally is.  I don't know what the cause was but I hope tomorrow is better!
Tonight we were supposed to go to the carnival and fireworks with Danny, Sean, Uncle Dan and Auntie Karin.  This is something Evan has been talking about doing ever since we went last year.  With his challenging behavior over the last few days, we kept warning him that we weren't going to go if he kept it up.  This usually works but not today!  So after a difficult morning and early afternoon, I called Auntie Karin to tell her that we weren't going to go.  I hated to do it but sometimes the tough decisions need to be made.  I think in the end Bruce and I were more disappointed than Evan...we understand exactly what we were missing.
Regardless of the difficult times, when all is said and done at the end of the day, Evan is still our little angel!  Let's just hope his behavior is angelic tomorrow!

Even after a difficult few days, he is still one of the sweetest things I have ever seen!  I love you, little guy!

(In the end, I guess it ended up being good that we cancelled with Danny and Sean because around 5 pm, Bruce called to say that his car broke down and I needed to go pick him up in Waltham.  Not at all how we were hoping to spend the evening.)
