Year 5, Day 307

Miles is a big fan of Search & Find books. No wonder, then, that he like to take the lessons of those books and apply them to real life. His never-ending quest to give his mother a heart attack continues.

Year 5, Day 281

This evening, we headed over to downtown Huntersville (we are locals now, and should probably act more like it) for the town Christmas festival. Featuring outdoor vendors, carnival rides (that, of course, Miles liked the idea of more than the actual riding of), and, thankfully, beer vendors, it was a nice way for us to … Continue reading Year 5, Day 281 →

Year 5, Day 190

Miles's top priority whenever we go out to eat: "Hide from Mommy in the bushes." This kid has two modes: "asleep" and "sneaking up on Mommy."

Year 5, Day 48

In a turn of events that warrants much rejoicing, Miles's behavior at daycare this week was good enough that he was allowed to participate in the Easter egg hunt today. I can't imagine how devastated he would've been otherwise, because this kid is ALL IN on Easter right now. In fact, after we came home … Continue reading Year 5, Day 48 →

Year 4, Day 327

"Hey," I said as I stood from the couch the other day. "Where's my other slipper?" While my left foot had found the appropriate slipper, my right foot, tapping all around the immediate area, could not find its corresponding partner. "Hmm," Miles said. "I think it's in the bathroom." I looked at him, genuinely baffled. … Continue reading Year 4, Day 327 →

Year 4, Day 223

Miles was watching a Halloween episode of Arthur* this evening as Jaclyn sat nearby, working on her computer and enveloped in work until she heard a sudden THUD from behind the couch. She hurried over to find Miles huddled on the ground with his head against the floor after evidently diving behind the furniture. "Miles!" … Continue reading Year 4, Day 223 →

Year 4, Day 222

Getting Miles out the door in the morning is always an adventure. Most times I'm able to stay somewhat removed from that chaos, as I'm typically showering and getting dressed at the same time. I might hear Miles's screams and Jaclyn's plaintive, exasperated requests through the walls, but I've got to get myself presentable before … Continue reading Year 4, Day 222 →

Year 4, Day 174

While we were staying with Jaclyn's aunt, the doorstop for the bedroom door in the guest house quickly went missing. While we pondered the object's fate for the duration of our stay, I assumed Miles must've gotten it mixed up with the toys he was playing with. Well, guess what we found after unpacking his … Continue reading Year 4, Day 174 →

Year 4, Day 164

Miles repeatedly threw his sock under the entertainment center today. As soon as I'd fish it out and turn away, I'd hear scampering and laughing, then sure enough, the sock was right back under there.

Year 4, Day 161

Miles around 7:00 PM, finishing a post-dinner snack: "Oh Dad-dee! One Teddy Graham is hi-ding!" Me, an hour later, while cleaning up: Well I don't know what I expected...
