Year 3, Day 117

Miles woke me up this morning to let me know he was leaving to go get donuts. "Miles!" Jaclyn called from the living room. "That was supposed to be a surprise!" Surprise or not, Father's Day got off to a great start. Not only did they return in short order with breakfast from Reigning Donuts, … Continue reading Year 3, Day 117 →

Year 3, Day 21

The coronavirus has got most everything on lockdown, but fortunately we were able to salvage St. Patrick's Day with some help from the Dropkick Murphys' livestream. By the end of the night, we were holding a family dance party on the rug (SPECIFICALLY on the rug. Miles wouldn't let us dance anywhere else). I would've … Continue reading Year 3, Day 21 →

Year 2, Day 343

There are a lot of (mostly hypocritical) people out there blasting last night's Super Bowl Halftime show, but Miles sure as hell loved it.

Year 2, Day 335

Today wasn't the best as far as Miles's potty training has gone. Despite numerous attempts, under extreme protest, to compel Miles to use his potty, he relied on his pull-ups to do the waste receiving most of the day. But just as Jaclyn was about to lose hope and resort to extreme measures (i.e., going … Continue reading Year 2, Day 335 →

Year 2, Day 280

Sound the alarm -- Miles has now eaten his first ice cream sandwich.

Year 2, Day 277

Miles awoke from a nap today to find that Jaclyn and I had gone out with our visiting European friends and had left him in the care of my parents. Perhaps because he doesn't get to see them quite so often, he's always a little skittish when we take him back to see his grandparents. … Continue reading Year 2, Day 277 →

Year 2, Day 255

Upon leaving daycare today, I noticed that Miles's cup looked a little...off. Gone was the usual white and blue lid, having been replaced with an orange one. The cup itself still had his name on it though, so I figured we could sort out the obvious mix-up in the morning. I was confident, however, that … Continue reading Year 2, Day 255 →

Year 2, Day 252

Tonight, Miles retrieved TWO yoga mats from our bedroom, laid them out on the living room floor, and started...well...see for yourself.

Year 2, Day 243

Miles attended his third political rally today, and this might have been his favorite yet. The real reason he was really excited about this one ultimately had less to do with Mayor Pete and more to do with Mayor Pete's music selection.

Year 2, Day 229

Miles reads a lot of books about animals and knows most of the major animal sounds at this point, so today we thought we'd take his animal experience to a new level. We've taken him to an wildlife preserve before and his love of dogs is well-documented, but today we wanted to bring him a … Continue reading Year 2, Day 229 →
