Miles woke up this morning to discover that he was not going straight to daycare. Instead, he was headed to the dentist for a routine check-up. Surprisingly, Miles wasn't upset to hear this or opposed to going. Quite the opposite, in fact. "I got to go to the dentist to check my head and see … Continue reading Year 3, Day 329

Year 3, Day 307: A COVID Kinda Christmas
We didn't have much travel planned this holiday season, but we were at least anticipating joining Jaclyn's sister and her husband for Christmas Eve dinner. But even these modest plans came crashing down early last week when we learned that one of Miles's classmates had tested positive for COVID-19. It's how we found ourselves in … Continue reading Year 3, Day 307: A COVID Kinda Christmas
Year 3, Day 297
As I pulled up to daycare this afternoon, the alarm on one of the other cars in the parking lot suddenly started honking. I parked and got out of my own car, the other vehicle still blinking and beeping all the while. After about thirty seconds, I started wondering if anyone was going to shut … Continue reading Year 3, Day 297

We were exiting onto 277 this morning as Miles decided we needed to spice up the morning drive. "Look!" he shouted from the backseat. "It's a dragon!" I don't know what his deal with dragons is lately (we were only able to coax him into leaving the house yesterday by telling him that we were … Continue reading Year 3, Day 286
Year 3, Day 283
As we were headed to daycare this morning, Miles started asking for a napkin to "get a booger off." Once we hit a stoplight, I grabbed a napkin and passed it to him. He worked for a few moments after that before saying, "Uh oh. Uh oh! It not comin' off!" "Don't worry," I assured … Continue reading Year 3, Day 283

I was told that today at daycare, one of the teachers was holding a small baby, which drew Miles's attention (as tends to be the case). As he stood there looking at the tiny child, his teacher said, "Miles, do you want a little brother or sister?" "Yeah," Miles said.* "Well do you want a … Continue reading Year 3, Day 268
Year 3, Day 266
As I've mentioned previously, Miles loves mysteries. After he had a rough morning getting out of the house, I tried to cheer him up by tapping into this interest on the ride to daycare. "Look!" Miles exclaimed as he does almost every morning. "It's the football stadium!" "You found it!" I said. "You solved the … Continue reading Year 3, Day 266
Year 3, Day 259
Almost every morning, Miles insists on bringing something with him to daycare. Maybe it's a toy, or a hat, or a book. Most of the time I'll indulge him to the degree we bring it along in the car with us, then tell him that we should leave it in the car to keep it … Continue reading Year 3, Day 259
Year 3, Day 230
Taking a week off of work for my first staycation in...ever...means that I get the rare privilege of taking Miles TO daycare AND picking him up! Which also means we'll ham it up in the backseat whenever we feel like it!
Year 3, Day 212
I came home last night to learn that Miles "had a bad day" at daycare. Before Jaclyn elaborated further, I asked Miles about it. His lips were sealed but, like a dog with its tail preemptively tucked between its legs, his guilt was unmistakeable as he diverted his eyes and eventually made his way to … Continue reading Year 3, Day 212
