Year 5, Day 235

Today's excursion took us to Selvatura Park, where we had the modest goal of walking a well-defined trail through the jungle and traversing a series of suspension bridges. Our adventure began as you might expect -- in the bathroom, where this happened: ...well...crap. On a mandatory pre-hike potty break, Miles and I literally got locked … Continue reading Year 5, Day 235 →

Year 5, Day 96

It's been a few weeks since I removed the knob cover from Miles's door, granting him the ability to open and close it as he pleases. He's largely treated this development responsibly, staying in his room when told and not coming into our bedroom in the middle of every night. In fact, his night-time incursions … Continue reading Year 5, Day 96 →

Year 5, Day 64

Hosting trivia at Legion Brewing for as long as I have has made me part of the family at that fine establishment. Which means I occasionally get invited to events like tonight's "Friends and Family" preview for their new location on Morehead St. Jaclyn and I were happy, to say the least, to make a … Continue reading Year 5, Day 64 →

Year 4, Day 184

What fun! In recent weeks, we've had a positively DELIGHTFUL new development in Miles's gradual ascension through childhood! Naturally, it's something that just fills us to the brim with warmth and happiness! His latest "thing" is unlocking the front door and just f***ing leaving the house. So cool! Thank God we got a security system … Continue reading Year 4, Day 184 →

Year 4, Day 181

I've written previously about Miles's recent nighttime challenges, which find him screaming like a damned soul on the racks of Hell as he pounds on his door (and find his mother and me unable to get a single peaceful night's rest). What I haven't talked about is how I've found him the last couple nights … Continue reading Year 4, Day 181 →

Year 4, Day 174

While we were staying with Jaclyn's aunt, the doorstop for the bedroom door in the guest house quickly went missing. While we pondered the object's fate for the duration of our stay, I assumed Miles must've gotten it mixed up with the toys he was playing with. Well, guess what we found after unpacking his … Continue reading Year 4, Day 174 →

Year 4, Day 154

In his efforts to put off going to bed as long as possible, Miles will often swap out his "preferred parent" multiple times in one night. What starts as "I want Daddy!" soon becomes "No I want Mommy!" And on and on it goes. A few nights ago, things took...a turn. It started when I … Continue reading Year 4, Day 154 →

Year 4, Day 33

Our third day in the new house, and Miles has figured out how to lock his door. He beckoned us to come to his room this morning, and I arrived at his door to find the knob immovable. I tried to turn it a couple times, as one does, to no avail. "Miles" I said. … Continue reading Year 4, Day 33 →

Year 3, Day 356

For reasons I can't explain, "Throw Bean Bags Under Dad's Office Door Then Wait for Him to Find Them" became Miles's favorite game this evening. https://videopress.com/v/0wIvHlWw?preloadContent=metadata

Year 3, Day 250

Today's naptime in the Martin household went absolutely swimmingly. https://videopress.com/v/2B3mTXrH?preloadContent=metadata
