For her birthday today, Jaclyn spent most of the day out with her sister, giving Miles and I some much needed "guy time." And, yes, okay, also a chance to buy Jaclyn's birthday presents. While we avoided too much gallivanting around given the state of public health, I did make sure Miles got to visit … Continue reading Year 3, Day 340

Year 3, Day 211
The other night during our usual nightly Jeopardy!/Wheel of Fortune block of TV viewing, Miles was suddenly drawn to a commercial. Miles typically shows disdain for ads, turning to us and saying, "Uh-oh...commercial!" as though there was something we could do about it (oh, to be a modern child immersed in streaming services). But this … Continue reading Year 3, Day 211

Year 3, Day 116
We made an attempt at family movie time today with a viewing of last year's Lion King remake. Two minutes in, Miles said, "Nono...the other one!" (Asking for the original version of the movie. That's my boy!) It wasn't long, however, before he really got into it.
Year 3, Day 29
Miles has started to prove himself quite the indecisive fellow, recently adopting the phrase "the other one" into his verbiage. And lest you think he employs these words in a manner remotely resembling civil discourse, consider the following scene.As I've mentioned previously, Miles has developed a borderline unhealthy obsession with the Frozen films. You may … Continue reading Year 3, Day 29
Year 3, Day 18

YES. THINGS ARE FINE. I can't say I'm surprised, given the fact that Miles still hasn't let Christmas go … Continue reading Year 3, Day 18
