Among the myriad shows Miles shifts back and forth between watching is Puppy Dog Pals, a fairly inoffensive Disney Junior show about an inventor and his two dogs. The dogs travel the world, have adventures, learn to work together...you know, typical preschooler television. What caught my attention as he was watching it one day was … Continue reading Year 5, Day 166

Year 5, Day 148
We've had a lot of friends who've had new additions to their families recently, be a first child, second, or two at the same time. And while I've been happy for each of them, the feelings arising in Jaclyn have been...different. Yes, she's happy for the families, but she has also admitted that see all … Continue reading Year 5, Day 148
Year 5, Day 85
We paid a visit to Miles's former babysitter, Lisa, this afternoon after German school. Lisa recently had her second child, and as much as Miles loves babies, there was only one question he kept asking all morning: "Will Gertie be there?" Yes, Miles was reunited with Lisa's dog. And Miles wasn't content just to see … Continue reading Year 5, Day 85

Tonight, Miles showcased his current knowledge of animal sounds for me, and I was blown away. The animals he can now mimic on cue include: Dogs (of course) Cows Ducks Lions Bears (sort of the same as lions, TBH)
Year 2, Day 84
Today when I entered the room at Miles's daycare, I gave him my usual smile and said, "Hi, Miles!" UNusually, his response was to start barking like a dog. This kid is so weird and I hope he never stops being weird.
Year 2, Day 76
Today saw Jaclyn celebrating her second Mother's Day in a way very similar to her first, albeit with a little twist. As with last year, we started the morning in South Park bright and early for the Mother's Day 5K. Miles and I worked up a generous appetite watching and cheering from the sidelines. While … Continue reading Year 2, Day 76
Year 2, Day 30
The fickle interest of a toddler is ever-fleeting. Where once Miles was obsessed with dogs, he has now found a new creature that has aroused his fascination. He still enjoys spying canines outside through the glass door, but birds are now at the forefront of his attention. Spurred perhaps by their prevalence in our yard, … Continue reading Year 2, Day 30
