Tragedy struck today, as Jaclyn decided now was the time to scale down Miles’s bikes and scooters. In truth, he’s grown out of many of them, using newer, larger ones when venturing outdoors (which also hasn’t been happening much lately as hot as it’s been). None of this meant that 1) Miles wasn’t going to notice the moment he got home and 2) he wasn’t going to have…feelings about it.
The tears were real. Miles kept crying even after we had ushered him into the house. Fortunately, asking him if he wanted to play some video games with me was all it took for him to collect himself and move forward.
