Year 5, Day 154

After more than a week (!) home sick, if Miles finally falls asleep soundly for the night you let him have it, wherever that resting place might be.

Year 5, Day 142

With pillows and cushions once again strewn about the living room today, I was forced to issue a mandate before bedtime: clean this room up...or else. To my surprise, Miles called upstairs just a few minutes later declaring he had restored the couch to its former state. I came downstairs to find that...eh, well, he … Continue reading Year 5, Day 142 →

Year 5, Day 117

Miles went to great lengths to make his own house in the living room. None of us is invited in. Which is fine, since it doesn't exactly look structurally sound.

While he's gotten pretty resistant to the idea of taking naps at the house, he is still very prone to falling asleep in the car, as he did yesterday when … Continue reading Year 3, Day 15 →

Year 2, Day 306

Miles's holiday weekend was unfortunately marred last night when, after growing increasingly cranky during the evening, he became lethargic and developed a fever. After we brought him home from dinner and laid him down in bed, I asked him if he needed medicine. He nodded in a way that was so pathetic it split my … Continue reading Year 2, Day 306 →

Year 2, Day 249

Yesterday: Miles truly discovers chocolate. Today:
