Year 3, Day 286

We were exiting onto 277 this morning as Miles decided we needed to spice up the morning drive. "Look!" he shouted from the backseat. "It's a dragon!" I don't know what his deal with dragons is lately (we were only able to coax him into leaving the house yesterday by telling him that we were … Continue reading Year 3, Day 286 →

Year 2, Day 272

Last night, for the second time ever, I was forced to abscond into the night with Miles who, flagrantly refusing to sleep or cease his screaming, left me with little recourse but to drive him around until his ass fell asleep. Normally, we would've just let him eventually put himself back to sleep, trying our … Continue reading Year 2, Day 272 →

Year 2, Day 42

A massive storm swept through Charlotte right around rush hour today, and unfortunately there was no way to keep either of us dry as we made our escape from daycare in the downpour. Miles's review of the rain:

Year 2, Day 4

For a kid who's still recovering from illnesses, Miles was completely wired yesterday. With Jaclyn working from home and me working a half day, all we could do was keep up with Miles, growing increasingly exhausted with every passing minute. Fortunately, he wasn't too fussy for most of the day; that is, until it was … Continue reading Year 2, Day 4 →

Day 337

Most afternoons, Miles and I will get to a point about halfway through our drive home where we'll start playing this "call and response" game with each other. Typically, Miles will make a noise, then I'll make the noise back, then he'll make a different noise, and I'll echo that...you get the idea. Anyway, I … Continue reading Day 337 →

Day 300

Miles spent most of his 300th day of existence in a car headed to Myrtle Beach for Christmas. It wasn't a terribly exciting drive (save for one event which I'll likely cover tomorrow), so instead of going into detail about how he slept most of the time, here's a highlight video of Miles playing with … Continue reading Day 300 →

Day 276: Baby’s First Snow!

Okay, I didn't look very closely at the weather before we left, but there's evidently a massive winter storm covering the entire northeast of the US right now. This has been abundantly clear throughout our drive (while our visibility has been quite the opposite). The driving has been treacherous to say the least, but it … Continue reading Day 276: Baby’s First Snow! →
