Miles takes a lot of pride in helping Jaclyn prepare my lunch each morning, tossing everything from yogurt to my daily multivitamin into the bag and insisting on zipping it up himself. Sometimes he gets a little possessive of the food, insisting that one or more items in the bag actually belong to him. "Here's … Continue reading Year 3, Day 315

Look, okay? I'm not ashamed to admit that my wife packs my lunch for me every day.

Never one to turn down a hearty meal, I eagerly left work at lunchtime to obtain food and see my son for a little bit. And Jaclyn came too, which gave us the unprecedented chance to blow Miles's mind at … Continue reading Day 263

I decided, pretty much on a whim, to pay a visit to Miles's daycare during my lunch break today. I didn't necessarily have time to, but I figured what the hell? I arrived to find Miles relaxing in a chair, lost deep in thought or, perhaps, studying the room and children around him, looking for … Continue reading Day 134
