Year 5, Day 35

For the last week or so, Miles has been moaning about his teeth hurting. We weren't sure whether this was a legitimate grievance or if Miles was just trying to get out of brushing (it's a real "boy who cried wolf" scenario), but yesterday one of his front teeth was noticeably discolored. After he persistently … Continue reading Year 5, Day 35 →

Year 5, Day 34

Miles's desire to host my trivia show is getting out of hand.

Year 5, Day 33

The first thing my coworker said to me this morning after walking in: "I like how there's just a rock in Miles's car seat." The exact placement of that rock was hotly debated as Miles got out of the car at daycare.

Year 5, Day 32

During Sunday's grocery shopping trip, Miles was given a bit of leeway to select items that he wanted, which meant that when I said, "Go pick out some bananas," I ended up with this: Yes, instead of purchasing a half-dozen or so respectably sized bananas, we have about twenty "baby bananas" to eat this week. … Continue reading Year 5, Day 32 →

Year 5, Day 31

In a suprising, but welcome, turn of events, I was welcomed (literally welcomed) home tonight to a quiet, relaxed home. "Hi Daddy!" Miles called from the couch. "Welcome home!" Jaclyn said. I plopped down on the couch next to Miles. "Hey buddy! How was your day?" "Good," Miles replied. "What did you do at school … Continue reading Year 5, Day 31 →

Year 5, Day 30

We took a family trip to the new Lowe's Foods in Huntersville today, where Miles discovered a harrowing new method of travel -- clutching the front of the cart as Mommy pushes it through the store. I figure he'll either hang on or learn a valuable lesson.

Year 5, Day 29

During breakfast (technically maybe lunch?) ate Bob Evans today, Miles and I had a little "Mad Libs-esque" fun with the kid's menu/activity page. I was honestly a little disappointed that it turned out only slightly weird.

Year 5, Day 28: Name That Song 4!

While Miles was taking his bath last night, he started belting out a song that...sort of sounds familiar while also managing to sound completely unfamiliar. It sort of exists in that liminal space between comfort and insanity. Anyway, here it is: https://videopress.com/v/2fXLxWFX?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true He added that it was "your song you like" (as in a song … Continue reading Year 5, Day 28: Name That Song 4! →

Year 5, Day 26

Miles's BFF Audrey is currently celebrating her birthday in Disney World, but that didn't stop Miles from demanding to speak with her on the phone so they could talk about our upcoming trip to see her and her parents. I was not present for the conversation, but I understand they discussed Disney World, Easter plans, … Continue reading Year 5, Day 26 →
