Regular readers know I lost my coveted reading room last week after I had to fill it with all of Miles's toys.

Year 5, Day 265
Miles continues to enjoy starting every morning with the Question of the Day upon arriving at school, although his reason for enjoying it has changed a little in the last couple weeks.

As I was on my way out the door for trivia last night, Miles walked over to me with a special request. "Hey, you got poop in your mouth and poop on your face," he said.

I can understand how children develop an understanding of what they think is funny. It all starts with the … Continue reading Year 3, Day 202

I received the following text from Jaclyn this evening: And to address your inevitable question, yes, he did make a "nomnomnom" sound as he did this.
Year 3, Day 52
Miles has started declaring, "Miles funny!" pretty regularly, and while I caution him against being too prideful regarding his comedic gifts, who can argue with this?
