Look at this sad little face. This past weekend Evan had many "Jekyll" moments where he was out of control. If you look closely at this picture, you can see the tear on his face from his most recent meltdown.
You can also see from this picture his lovely outfit. He has his Badgers sweatshirt with his new Eagles T-shirt under that comes to his knees. Under the shirt are his Browns football pants. This is what he wore outside in the 40 degree weather to play football despite his mother's pleadings to do otherwise.
Jekyll would slam himself on the floor, screaming and kicking in hopes that we would cave in. (We never do. . . )Meet Mr. Hyde:
Evan had so many purely priceless moments as well this weekend. When he wants to turn on the charm, he exceeds all expectations.
Here he was playing with this precious pumpkin present that he received from his Aunt Tif a few years ago. He was so thrilled to get his picture taken with it. Doesn't he look so sweet?
Evan loves to cuddle and sit in my lap. He never wants to feel like he isn't getting equal time to the other boys. He will look at me with those beautiful brown eyes in such a way that I am nearly brought to tears.
He challenges me in ways my other boys never did at this age. The constant battle between his ups and downs proves challenging on a daily basis. One thing never wavers, however: how very much I love this little man.

Poor Evs... I can relate to that constant need to vie for attention. He's not so unusual... remember me doing cartwheels—everywhere? Just trying to get noticed. :) And how about that pumpkin?! I don't even remember buying that... but I surely wouldn't put it past me. Glad little man is in a better mood.
Oh boy! Usually when there's mood swings in my house it means an illness is coming or a big growth spurt. I hope it's the latter for you! Especially with Halloween coming. Smiles are always better than tantrums!
