Year 3, Day 206

This panel from this week's Detective Comics #1027 is pretty much Miles in a nutshell, every day.

Year 3, Day 205

"Miles, what number comes after 15?" "Sixteen!" "Right! And what number comes after 16?" "Seventeen!" "Yeah! And what comes after 17?" "Lollipops!"

Year 3, Day 204

Two-thirds of the people living in our house absolutely HATE getting out of bed in the morning. Jaclyn's felt more tired than usual lately, which means that we're much closer to 100% at this point and that getting out the door for work in the morning has started to turn into a mad rush. Considering … Continue reading Year 3, Day 204 →

Year 3, Day 203

With a rare morning off today, I wasn't exactly in a hurry to get out of bed.

Yes, Miles actually decided to try eating my face last night. What can I say -- the kid is hyped for the new football season!

Year 3, Day 198

I brought home one of this year's Free Comic Book Day offerings for Miles and his eyes absolutely lit up when I handed the book (Owly by Andy Runton) to him. "It's my comic book!" he beamed. If my life is any indication, I've just created a monster.

Year 3, Day 197

We were barely a quarter mile from the house this morning when Miles said something that almost made me screech to a halt. "It a octagon!" ...what? Surely I heard that wrong. "What did you say, buddy?" "It a octagon, daddy!" We had just passed a stop sign, true, but...come on. Could my two-year-old already … Continue reading Year 3, Day 197 →
