As noted in previous entries, it's not been easy to train Miles to conform to expectations regarding dinnertime or even eating in general.

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.
