I got more details on what happened today. The bad news was that the teenage-trapped-in-a-6yo-body (yes, this is what it feels like) surfaced this morning during breakfast. The good news is that he had a pretty good mental reset before heading to school. He came home with an excellent behavior report (yay). He did have a fit this evening, but we were able to adjust.

I am now pretty convinced that we're in one of these intellectual/emotional growth spurts. During dinner we happened to get into some pretty advanced math topics really, really quickly and he was totally digging it (he explained the concept of communicative principal of multiplication to me...!). So we just un-afterschooled! :-)
