I love this picture that Rob took of Corban at the park this weekend. After the few days before that I'd had with him, it just really spoke to me. On one side we've got light and on the other, a shadow. See? Even his hair is messier in the shadow side of the picture. The two side of Corban.
He can be the sweetest little boy, ever. Kisses and hugs and the politest little thing! Smart, funny and eager to please. Imaginative and playful with boundless energy. Happy! Light. Sunshine.
Sometimes he gets raging mad at the drop of a hat. He whines and cries and has trouble sleeping. He screams and yells and sometimes gets physical. He complains that his body actually physically hurts. He has trouble expressing himself and gets frustrated easily. He doesn't like people or change or to be touched. The shadow is hiding my sweet little man.
But I know that underneath the shadow is that sweet little boy with a sparkle in his eye. I just have to wait out the shadow.

Following you via Bloggy Moms!
P.S. Thanks for commenting on my blog! : )
What a cutie!!
That gave me the goosebumps!
Corban is precious and I'm sure his light is brighter than his shadows!
He's such a cutie face!!
He is too adorable :)
Following you now on GFC, hope to see you again soon at Hip2bmom.
I am in the same boat with Nate. It's the glimpses of the light that help me get through the shaddow. I just really hope he comes out of it soon. It wears on me emotionally and I'm sure my reaction to some of the outbursts don't help him much either. This will pass for us both. :o)
Ahh, sounds a lot like my middle child. Unfortunately, he came by his 'grump, moody, antisocial' behavior via my genes. You'd think we'd get along good, but we clash. I tell ya, he's going to be a fun teenager. ;)
Exactly! That is why you are an awesome mom. You see this stuff, and can wait it out!
My oldest was like this, and it took some time, but finally, at the age of 6, he is becoming more of just the sweet little guy we know and love him to be. Hang in there mama!
