Thanks for stopping by! Being a dad is a unique challenge, the winding path through which is fraught with successes and failures. I'm only three months in right now, and the hand brake on this roller coaster is broken beyond repair. And you'll be able to hear (read) all about it on this site! A … Continue reading Welcome to the party, pal!

Me: "Miles, if you don't get out of that box, I'm going to seal it up and send it to Grammy and Papa." Miles: "Okay. Do it." Always trying to call my bluff...
Year 4, Day 238
It's just over a week until Halloween now and it better get here quickly, because every day Miles gets more and more "ideas." I've already talked about his existing plan (which will, sadly, be fully realized), but this morning he took it one step farther. "Guess what?" were his first words to me today.

Year 4, Day 232
I was in an adjacent room while Miles was using the potty today. About two minutes in, he called out, "Dad! Let me show you this!" I was relieved because this likely meant that he had finally gone poop for the day. However, I was understandably less than eager to go in and look at … Continue reading Year 4, Day 232
