I was SO EXCITED for my first Mother's Day with Cassie, Jordan, Noah, AND Muluken! I was looking forward to a day that was ALL ABOUT ME!! Yes, I'm being a little bit dramatic here, but I wasn't prepared for what my Mother's Day ended up being. I think the next two pictures will say it all...
Yes, Muluken shut down. Again. All day. Didn't want to talk. Didn't want to smile. Wouldn't make eye contact. Didn't understand that it was Mother's Day. This was my day to celebrate my 4 children. This was my day to be happy.
He went to bed at 9:05pm that evening after being silent for so long. Way past his bedtime. It got better around 8:50pm. The little bit I got out of him pointed in the direction of being mad at Brad and Noah for going turkey hunting in the morning. Then he was mad at me for talking to Brad. And the kids. He was mad. He wasn't happy and he didn't know how to work through it or how to tell us what was wrong.
It was a VERY long day. And not the happiest day, but it was still my Mother's Day. And yes, this too shall pass.
