Year 4, Day 126
I brought Miles out with me after work tonight because 1) I had promised to both pick him up AND meet friends out and 2) to give Jaclyn a little more time to herself this evening. Miles wasn't super keen on the idea of not going directly home after daycare, but fortunately we had a … Continue reading Year 4, Day 126
Year 4, Day 107
Jaclyn went out to lunch with a friend today, which meant Miles and I were free to go where Mommy would never tread: the recently opened Day & Night Cereal Bar in Uptown. The last time I went to a cereal bar was during our trip to Colorado back in 2018, a time when Miles … Continue reading Year 4, Day 107
Year 4, Day 57
Jaclyn left early this morning for a workout, and the door had barely closed before Miles proudly marched into my bathroom to declare, "I'm babysitting you! While mommy's gone, I'm in charge!" This is how he was dressed: He then revealed that he was "ready to go out in the snow."

Year 3, Day 98
"Oh, he's mad at you."I heard Jaclyn's voice just a second before I heard Miles slam his bedroom door. My first thought: "What did I do?"As it turned out, Miles had been collecting his Duplo blocks in the middle of the living room floor and asking me to sit down and build "choo-choo train" out … Continue reading Year 3, Day 98
Year 3, Day 77
We take naps whenever we can get 'em.
Year 3, Day 59
This morning as I was brewing coffee, Miles insisted I sit with him for breakfast. I was initially flattered and delighted, but then, as he started moving his chairs, I realized what he meant and the reality was...well, weird. Despite not being an ideal seating arrangement for breakfast or looking at one another, it still … Continue reading Year 3, Day 59
