Why's my 5yo behaving like a mad baboon today?

He started school last week, is a bit resistant, but seems to like it once he's there.

Today he has been a complete loon. Falling over, being silly in a really stupid, destructive way, ignoring and defying my instructions over just about everything. It's horrible and I am this close to, well I don't know what - I feel like giving up tbh!

Every little thing has been a huge battle and I feel as though he is put here to upset,frustrate and destroy everything I am trying to do, from hoovering to talking on the phone. it's like he's trying to and althopugh I realise he can't be really, it does feel personal!!

Is he tired, reacting to school/testing that I still love him, wanting to reassert himself in the household after a week elsewhere, or just having one of those phases...why is he doing this?

It's the weather

Honestly.

I am a CM and I just know that windy days mean skittish children.

Ah. is that it?
I suppose it has been a bit windy so far, not that bad. I thought he was trying to be horrid so he could make sure i still love him after sending him to school!!

thanks...
