There's been nothing short of a deluge of babies arriving for friends of ours over the last couple weeks, and today we paid a visit to one of them, taking Miles to meet his friend Duke's new baby brother. Even if the baby visit was more for us, Miles still had a lot of fun … Continue reading Year 3, Day 179

Year 3, Day 141: Name That Song 3!
While sitting on the potty this evening, Miles once again burst into song and, also once again, I have no idea what he's singing. Any ideas?
Year 3, Day 137
He may be young, but Miles is already developing an ear for orchestral music. Sure, his love of Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld" stems largely from its use as backing music for a couple Disney songs, but what's more heartwarming (for me anyway) is that he's already able to distinguish John Williams scores. Sure, he … Continue reading Year 3, Day 137

Hey! Miles sorta knows the words to the Muppet Babies (2018) theme song!
Year 3, Day 81
Today, thanks to the concert streaming on YouTube this weekend, Miles was introduced to Prince. And when I say "introduced," I mean "blown away by" (as one typically responds to his Royal Purpleness).
Year 3, Day 79
When it comes to mommy and daddy talking during a TV show or trying to sing along with music, Miles has...opinions.
Year 3, Day 64: Name That Song UPDATE!
During yet another failed attempt to coax Miles into taking a nap this afternoon, I put him in bed, snuggled up next to him, and started an "Old McDonald" YouTube video. This, of course, set in motion a cascade of children's songs, as YouTube auto-queued video after video. Well one of us sure started getting … Continue reading Year 3, Day 64: Name That Song UPDATE!
Year 3, Day 54
We've entered the "everything's a drum" phase and WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.
