Mom and son bonding at solar eclipse
This year solar eclipse on April 8 was an extra special phenomenon, mostly because I was able to experience it with my teen son. I figured if the world was going to end, at least we'd see it together.
I told him as much, which he just rolled his eyes at. Because....teen son
But he agreed to join me for a trip to the American Museum of Natural History to see it from their fancy terrace area. Plus see the new New Gilder Center section, since he hasn't yet.
We decided to make it another mom and son day at the museum. Gosh we use to have so many of those before he became a "teen".
The AMNH hosted a Solar Eclipse Day, which included getting a pair eclipse glasses, along with family-friendly educational activities.
While we missed the activities, we did get our eclipse glasses and joined other families on the Arthur Ross Terrace.
Being on Arthur Ross Terrace gave us a clear amazing view as we watched the moon eclipse the sun. Even at 90 percent coverage, it was truly one of those rare life experiences.
Made more rare when I heard my teen said this was "cool" and later that he enjoyed sharing that moment with me. A truly phenomenal day.
Hopefully my son can see the next total solar eclipse in 2044, when he's 35 y/o with his teen child!

Case for mini braces
Guess who's son got a mouth and tooth injury in school....
Which means I had to cancel my plans, pick him up and take him to dentist office for urgent care.
3 hours at hospital later, my son is fine but he gotta wear mini braces for 1 month 😫

Saturday morning sleeping
Saturday morning
10am
My teen son is still sleeping 😳
It's still weird to me. When I was a child I woke up early, did chores, watched cartoons and then went outside to play.
