We decided to let Mason stay up a little past his bedtime last night to watch the Lunar Eclipse. We got out tiki torches lit and grabbed our blankets and snuggled up on our lounge chairs by the pool. Mason didn't really understand, but since it won't happen again until 2033 and by then he will be 20 and not care about Mom and Dad. Plus, who knows if the weather will be as perfect as it was last night. We had crystal clear skies. We talked to Mason about the stars and all about the Moon and the Lunar Eclipse and what was happening. For a 2.5yr old, I think he got it in his own little way. Explaining stars was a little harder for him to get then the Moon getting darker. The look I got explaining stars are like our sun in other places was a bit scary to him or at least that's what I got from his look of concern.
He mostly enjoyed getting to "sleep" outside with Mommy and Daddy and stay up past his bedtime. He was so cute, jumping from me to Michael and back. It was a wonderful sight watching not only the Lunar Eclipse but seeing the Super Moon and the Blood Moon. I cannot wait to do more fun things like this with my kids. Seeing their faces makes everything worth it in the end.
