Year 5, Day 320

Jaclyn: "Miles made this for you during his bath." The thing: Uhhhh...

Year 5, Day 242

While we were on vacation, and under GREAT duress, Miles took his first shower. While it's true his initial screams chilled Monteverde to its core, by the end of the experience Miles had decided that showers are his favorite thing ever. Even now, back home with all his toys, he's much more eager to take … Continue reading Year 5, Day 242 →

Year 5, Day 230

Yesterday Miles proclaimed that the downstairs washroom was now "his bathroom." Pointing out that it does not actually contain a bath did nothing to deter him, and he continued reassigning the bathrooms in our house, making his former bathroom mine (Jaclyn, meanwhile, doesn't have to move). We all had a good laugh about it. Anyway … Continue reading Year 5, Day 230 →

Year 5, Day 168

Miles's Bathtime Ice Cream Stand, where flavors include orange, mango, and seaweed salad and no scoops are used because "I can just use my hand."

Year 5, Day 70

Overheard tonight, while Miles was in the bathtub: Jaclyn: "Miles, do you need to go potty?" Miles, in the bathtub, as he produces no less than ten sustained seconds of fart bubbles: "Uhhhhhh..."

Year 5, Day 10

While spelling his name with foam letters in the bathtub tonight, Miles found the M and the I, but needed a little help spotting the next letter. After some minimal guidance (which -- great news -- Miles knows the difference between his right and his left), he plucked the L out of the water. "Hey," … Continue reading Year 5, Day 10 →

Year 4, Day 357

I came downstairs after getting cleaned up tonight to find Miles already sitting at the table, eating dinner. I tousled his hair as I walked past and noticed it was damp. "Did you take a bath?" I asked, surprised because I hadn't heard a bit of protest from him (normally, his wails would echo up … Continue reading Year 4, Day 357 →

Year 4, Day 256

Once she had finally coaxed Miles into the bathtub tonight, Jaclyn gave him a few minutes to play. We were in the bedroom folding laundry when, mere minutes later, Miles darted out of the bathroom, wet and butt-ass naked. "Miles!" Jaclyn yelled. "What are you doing??" "I'm done from the bath!" he announced, a trail … Continue reading Year 4, Day 256 →

Year 4, Day 238

During Miles's bath last night, he started belting out a song while I was out of the room. It took me a second, but I finally realized what it was and, well, it was surprising. See if YOU can name that song! https://videopress.com/v/pSbprQk4?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata

Year 2, Day 318

Not really sure what to say about this, other than what I was trying to get video of was Miles pretending his blocks were a phone and "calling" my brother Ben (hence the "How ya' doin', Ben?" at the end of the...song).
