Year 5, Day 72

Having made a special bracelet (or "bracelip," as he calls it) at German school yesterday, Miles was fully prepared for Mother's Day this year. "We have to hide it from Mommy!" he declared as I picked him up yesterday. "Don't worry, buddy," I assured him, "I'll take care of it."

Year 3, Day 200

Miles found a piece of cardboard today and immediately wanted to start hitting things with it. But knowing how much he's interested in pirates and treasure, I decided to try redirecting his predilection for physicality into something a little more constructive. "Hey! Let's make a treasure map!" Despite my best efforts to talk him out … Continue reading Year 3, Day 200 →

Today, in preparation for a friend's remote birthday celebration, we introduced Miles to sidewalk chalk and, frankly, I don't know what took us so long.
