Year 2, Day 16

Well, what Miles lacked in crying last night he more than made up for this morning, breaking into an uncharacteristic sobbing session on the way to daycare. Normally, Jaclyn passes him to me on my way out the door, we say "Bye mommy," Miles waves, and we're off to the races. Today, upon finding that … Continue reading Year 2, Day 16 →

Year 2, Day 15

Miles was sleeping as hard as I've ever seen him sleep when we arrived home from daycare tonight. While that meant not really getting to spend much time with him before running to my trivia show, it also meant that the transition from me to babysitter was much smoother. When he finally woke up, Lisa … Continue reading Year 2, Day 15 →

Year 2, Day 11

It was raining pretty heavily when I picked Miles up from daycare today, so I tossed him in the car then climbed in to take off his coat and get his belt buckled. I almost never do this from inside the car, and getting his coat off quickly turned into an impromptu tickling session.

Year 2, Day 9

Today was rough, and not just because I'm still trying desperately to shake this cold. No, this was one of those (thankfully) rare days where I only get to spend about ten minutes with Miles, most of which is in the car on the way to daycare. Jaclyn offered (and, honestly, probably really wanted) to … Continue reading Year 2, Day 9 →

Day 360

We kept Miles home from daycare today after finding his eyes red and irritated this morning and fearing that he had acquired a case of pink eye. I left work after lunch to take him to the doctor and found that while he does in fact have pink eye, his double ear infection, thought vanquished … Continue reading Day 360 →

Day 338

No tears tonight when leaving Miles with his babysitter! In fact, Miles didn't give us much of ANYTHING...he was as P.T.F.O. as I've ever seen him. I tried to wake him up as we got out of the car, then once we were in the house, and then (and I was sure this would work) … Continue reading Day 338 →

Day 330

We moved into a house back in October, and yet there's still a lot of work to be done (primarily in "my" room, where the boxes have accumulated). The holidays and abrupt trips out of town have resulted in this room getting neglected for far too long, which is why I've been looking forward to … Continue reading Day 330 →

Day 326: Baby’s First Ear Infection!

Miles's slightly off-brand crying continued this morning, and Jaclyn reached out to daycare early to check in on how he was doing. While the outcome of that initial conversation was, "Let's see if it gets any better," it wasn't long before she got a call back. Miles had a fever and needed to go home … Continue reading Day 326: Baby’s First Ear Infection! →

Day 311

With Jaclyn's vacation time officially resetting now that it's 2019, she took a much-needed day off today. It was meant to be a time for her to refresh, get rested, and focus on herself -- something the burdens of being a mother have not allowed her to really do in months (to both her misfortune and … Continue reading Day 311 →

Day 297: Poop Update 8!

There isn't a new poo to add to the ongoing catalogue today, but this is exceedingly worthy of a mention nonetheless -- today Miles's daycare reported that he had a poop of such magnitude that not only did all of his clothes need to be replaced, but their advice was to "just throw the old … Continue reading Day 297: Poop Update 8! →
