If anyone's curious, I am officially "Damn, this PJ Masks song SLAPS!" deep into parenting. I suppose you just learn to accept the reality you're given, and right now that reality is "PJ Masks music from the time we leave the house to the time we get to daycare."

Year 4, Day 33: The “Miles’s Selections” Playlist
In previous blog posts, I've talked about Miles's general interest in music and, specifically, his appreciation for They Might Be Giants (thanks to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and "Weird Al" Yankovic.

He was so into it that he ran into his room and retrieved "instruments" for the whole family to play. From left: Daddy on "trumpet," Mommy on "guitar," … Continue reading Year 3, Day 289
