I grudgingly pull myself out of the car and help him get unbuckled all the while trying to coerce him about how much fun we are going to have in the corn maze and on the hayride. He keeps crying. I don't know what's wrong. What's triggered this one?
Corbin runs to the nearest hay pile and I am sad thinking I'm not going to fully enjoy his excitement for our adventure. I'm definitely on the road of feeling sorry for myself.
Then Brian says "Potty?" in the midst of his tears. "Oh, you have to go potty?," I ask, excited we may actually figure out the root of this one. "Potty! Yes I do!" replies Bri-Guy. We run around the back of the farm to find the bathroom and he does his business and comes out with a smile.
I'm so glad that he is starting to be able to tell me what he needs.
The rest of the day went great. They climbed, jumped, and slid over tons of hay. We got lost in a corn maze and Corbin and Josh did their best to scare us. We went on a hay ride- which wasn't too much of a hit with Brian, but he survived it. We picked out some nearly-perfect pumpkins and had a treat of flavored-honey straws.
It was a great day that everyone fully enjoyed. You really can't take those for granted.

I am so happy that the day worked out for you guys! and that Brian just needed to go potty to feel all better. :) everyone needs those days where they can just enjoy!
i enjoyed watching the slide show of photos of the boys playing. They are truly blessings.
Oh man, I know that feeling. Whyyyyyy, why now???
I'm so glad that you were able to fix it for him so you could all have a great day!!!! I love those!
It's so frustrating when it's just a simple thing that sets them off. One terrible meltdown was at my sister's house, where he broke something of hers, and screamed and fought and kicked and cried, and I cried and neither he or I could eat the dinner that she made especially for me because we were both so upset. I found out later that it was all because he wanted to sit next to me at the table. Really?? I LOVE that boy but I could surely live without the meltdowns!
Fabulous outcome! It's amazing how much power they have once they can express themselves.
Glad you had a good time with the boys after that!!
