Solar Eclipse

The solar eclipse was all the new today. I just happened to be off work taking care of 2.5 (officially today) since the daycare is closed. He was napping at the time but I didn't have the glasses to look at it so it wasn't as obvious for me. 😎

This is the picture I took that is closed to the reported time it should've occurred in my location. As you can see you can't really tell too much. It was pretty cloudy so at some points I wasn't sure if it was cloudy or the solar eclipse...

Mood: 😒Irritable 

2.5 has really been testing me lately. It's constant mini meltdowns over seemingly nothing at random times every day. I am not sure if it's because I am around? My mom says he is fine with her until I come home and he's extra naggy and more prone to mini meltdowns.

He is a defiant one. Sometimes I would call him and he will not answer or respond. He knows his name. When he is being directed to do something he will avoid eye contact as if you are not there. Timeout? He will go over there but ask him to stand or straighten up is another meltdown waiting to happen. Counting down...nothing. I am at a loss and my fuse is getting shorter and shorter by the minute. This isn't helping an already sensitive situation...

We are suppose to go on a vacation next week and I am not sure if I can even "relax."
