Miles graciously prepared a lunch for me today. Housed within this plastic egg, it was not to be opened until I was at work. ...ah. Lunch.

I don't know what Jaclyn implied Miles was going eat for dinner, but he was fast with his counter proposal. "NO," he declared. "I want chicken and waffles!" "Hey, he's the one who said it!"

"I'm bringing Miles's leftover pizza home for you." Expectation: vs. Reality: Hand included for scale.
Year 5, Day 39
Miles almost always leaves the house with some sort of food in the mornings but almost always neglects to actually eat it. Sometimes he just zones out and forgets, while other times (such as today) he takes one bite and says, "UGH, yucky!" Either way, I hate wasting food, and so the fate of these … Continue reading Year 5, Day 39
Year 5, Day 32
During Sunday's grocery shopping trip, Miles was given a bit of leeway to select items that he wanted, which meant that when I said, "Go pick out some bananas," I ended up with this: Yes, instead of purchasing a half-dozen or so respectably sized bananas, we have about twenty "baby bananas" to eat this week. … Continue reading Year 5, Day 32

Year 4, Day 334
Miles is still regularly waking up in the middle of the night and almost always resorting to screaming and banging on his door to get our attention. Usually, once we come to his room, he tries to excuse this behavior by saying, "I missed you," or concocting some other endearing explanation. Last night, when Jaclyn … Continue reading Year 4, Day 334
Year 4, Day 329
After being warned that eating too much junk food would almost certainly result in a tummy ache, Miles stopped rummaging through the candy dish and had a moment of what was clearly deep introspection. After careful consideration, he reached back into the dish and pulled out three pieces of candy. "I want to have a … Continue reading Year 4, Day 329
