Year 5, Day 238

If this isn't Miles "living his best life," I can't imagine what it would look like. Of course, he didn't get everything he wanted on this trip. After spending the morning at the beach, we went by a bookstore to pick up some stamps for postcards. Miles, naturally, wanted everything in the store, but none … Continue reading Year 5, Day 238 →

Year 4, Day 187

It wasn't long after we got on the road this morning that Miles started complaining that he needed a drink, despite knowing full-well that it's impossible for me to just conjure juice out of thin air. "There's nothing for you to drink in here, buddy," I said. Again. "All I have is coffee." "I want … Continue reading Year 4, Day 187 →

Year 4, Day 160

I'll be waiting forever for the "easy" part of parenting a toddler to show up, but nothing on any given day is harder than getting out of the house on a weekday.

Year 3, Day 338

During dinner tonight, after demanding the rest of MY fish to eat, Miles asked for a tortilla. Little did we know that Miles's intention was not to eat the tortilla, but to submerge it. Yes, he tore it to pieces and dropped it into his cup.

Year 3, Day 151

During his bath tonight, Miles summoned me to the bathroom so he could give me a "beverage" he referred to as "scrambled egg juicy water." In reality, what he handed me was a small cup of bathwater, but I honestly can't decide which seems less appealing.And yes, of course I pretended to drink it. And … Continue reading Year 3, Day 151 →

Year 2, Day 195

I arrived home from Orlando this evening and immediately wanted to share my bounty with the family. There's no way I'd go to Disney World without buying some mementos for Miles, and there's especially no way I'd do that when a Star Wars park is involved. I knew the moment I saw them at a … Continue reading Year 2, Day 195 →
