Check out this reverse psychology B.S. my kid pulled today: He goes to daycare and starts talking about how he's got a "Star Wars cake" at home (he does not). Eventually, that turns into "cupcakes." He's got "cupcakes" at home. Chocolate ones. He talks about this enough during the day that, when Jaclyn picks him … Continue reading Year 3, Day 24

Year 3, Day 7

After calling home to make sure Jaclyn had picked him up, she put him on the phone."Hi, Miles!""Daddy!""Did you have a good day at school?'"eeeYES!""What did you do today?""..."Then Jaclyn, in the background, said, "Tell him about your tree!""I … Continue reading Year 3, Day 7

And in true Martin fashion, I can confirm that Miles has inherited the wallflower gene from … Continue reading Year 2, Day 353
