A rough day

I took this picture at the beginning of the day when the kids were happily building forts made out of Linden’s favorite umbrella.  You can see that it’s bent at an odd angle, tucked into a suitcase.  Hadley kept messing with it which made Linden angry and then when we undid the fort and found out that the umbrella was broken, he blamed Hadley and it set Linden off.  For hours, I did everything I could to get Linden under control.  It’s becoming less prevalent these days and I keep trying to find different ways to cope with his outbursts.  This day in particular will be one that I can imagine I won’t forget for awhile.
