Year 5, Day 314

Shuffling through the bundle of papers he brought home from school, Miles excitedly showed Jaclyn and I a picture he had drawn. "Look!" he said, pointing as he explained (mostly to Jaclyn). "That's you and that's Daddy and that's a smiley face and that's from when you got married!" The piece in question. The "when … Continue reading Year 5, Day 314 →

Year 5, Day 282

"Daddy?" Miles asked as soon as I came downstairs this morning. "Can I have some glue?" I didn't know what this was all about, but I was certain it was too early for it. "Why do you need glue?"

Year 3, Day 143

When Miles awoke this morning, he immediately issued a decree. "Mommy! I wanna go to the ice cream shop!" We found his demand to be fair, if slightly unreasonable at 7:00 am, and so we promised that, at the end of the day, we would all go get ice cream. Miles was delighted. So delighted, … Continue reading Year 3, Day 143 →

Miles got suspiciously quiet for a few minutes this afternoon. I soon discovered that he had been hard at work on an art installation.

Year 2, Day 225

Miles has brought a few art projects home from school at this point, but today's was the first one he was visibly proud of.
