Year 5, Day 343

Things were going well as we left the house to go get dinner tonight, so of course Jaclyn decided to risk it all by bringing up something that was sure to make Miles anxious and fretful. "You know, Miles, pretty soon it'll be time for your five-year check-up." "What check-up?" he asked. "At the doctor," … Continue reading Year 5, Day 343 →

Year 5, Day 250

TFW you just got your COVID booster and, while you have ice cream now, you aren't sure it's enough to offset the discomfort of getting a shot in the arm.

Year 5, Day 47

Before we left this morning, I took a moment to show Miles his sticker chart and explain how it works. Now, I've seen his eyes light up before -- Christmas morning, for example -- but holy COW was he excited about this. You'd think he'd been waiting his whole life for a sticker chart. Granted, … Continue reading Year 5, Day 47 →

Year 4, Day 245

In what is likely the result of seasonal allergies, I woke up feeling pretty awful this morning. Fortunately, Doctor Miles was available to make a bedside visit. "You got a boo-boo?" he asked, looking me over to spot any visible wounds. "Not really," I clarified. "I just feel sick today." He considered this for a … Continue reading Year 4, Day 245 →

Year 4, Day 199

The opportunities the past two years have afforded us to see some of our closest family members have been greatly diminished, which has been difficult for a number of reasons, not the least of which is robbing Miles's aunts, uncles, and grandparents of the chance to see him at various developmental stages. This weekend, however, … Continue reading Year 4, Day 199 →

Year 4, Day 153

The best nights, as you can probably imagine, are the ones where I get home around 10:30 after working all day and hosting a trivia show to find that Miles is both still awake and screaming at the top of his lungs. Last night was one of those nights. This time, however, he seemed to … Continue reading Year 4, Day 153 →

Year 4, Day 28

I took today off of work for two reasons: 1) we've got our "big move" into the new house this weekend and I needed to prep for that as much as possible but 2) only if my second shot of COVID vaccine didn't put me on my ass. With the day off, I'd at least … Continue reading Year 4, Day 28 →

Year 3, Day 107

First thing this morning, Miles had a doctor's appointment to remove the stitches he received after his fall over the weekend. He was thrilled to hear about this when he woke up. "I no wanna go see a doctor!" he complained. While Jaclyn was with him in the hospital on Friday night, it fell upon … Continue reading Year 3, Day 107 →

Year 3, Day 20

The COVID-19 virus is spreading and disrupting the lives of people around the country. While some of the panic may be unnecessary or avoidable, there is no doubt that one is best served approaching the situation with a degree of trepidation. It's fitting, then, that my son has recently developed an understanding of fear. The … Continue reading Year 3, Day 20 →

Year 3, Day 13

Miles coughed throughout the night and while he was in pretty good spirits this morning, we figured we'd play it safe and get him in to see his pediatrician today. I got Miles up and brought him to bed with us as Jaclyn dialed the doctor's office. "Mommy's calling the doctor," I said to Miles. … Continue reading Year 3, Day 13 →
