Year 5, Day 111

It was a rainy morning this week when Miles and I were wondering how to get to the car without getting too wet. "Wait!!" Miles exclaimed. "I know!!!" The only thing that makes this kid happier than splashing in puddles is getting the chance to try out his new Paw Patrol umbrella!

Year 5, Day 18

After a long day of work and hosting trivia, all I want to do is come home and collapse into bed, and today was no exception. I hauled my aching body upstairs and into the bedroom to find-- ...oh. Given that he was sleeping with the ENTIRE PAW Patrol, I quickly accepted that there was … Continue reading Year 5, Day 18 →

Year 5, Day 6

Miles has proudly assembled the entire PAW Patrol to watch over him at night. And I wish I could say he was finally satisfied after getting the rest of the set for his birthday, but the first thing he said after seeing them all together was, "Hey! Why didn't I get Ryder?!" For the record, … Continue reading Year 5, Day 6 →

Year 4, Day 335

In an effort to get Miles out of the house this morning, Jaclyn made some...promises. "Daddy!" Miles said as he sprang into the bathroom, WAY more excited than he usually is at 7:30 am. "We're going to fly to Adventure Bay on a plane and meet the Paw Patrol!!!" Hoo boy, I thought. Jaclyn's really … Continue reading Year 4, Day 335 →

Year 4, Day 317

"I need to go potty," Miles announced this evening, prompting me to pause the episode of Paw Patrol he was watching and escort him to the bathroom. I've always found time spent in the bathroom to be some of the best "thinking time" I can get, given the solitude and white noise of the fan. … Continue reading Year 4, Day 317 →

Year 4, Day 315

Today was a day I didn't even know I needed to dread yet, as I assumed it was still at least three or four years away. Miles, in all earnestness, requested his own cell phone. "I want to get a real phone so I can talk to somebody," he said, unsolicited, as we pulled up … Continue reading Year 4, Day 315 →

Year 4, Day 300

Well, Miles is still waking up in the night, but at least 1) he doesn't lead off with the banging and screaming, opting instead to attempt to get our attention in a more controlled voice and 2) "the middle of the night" is now more like "really early in the morning." Four consecutive hours of … Continue reading Year 4, Day 300 →

Year 4, Day 293

After yesterday's challenges, I was prepared for the worst today, despite having assured Miles that he wouldn't see Paw Patrol or PJ Masks in any capacity for three days if we received another bad report from school (or experienced such behavior ourselves). He had already lost his plush Chase and Marshall dolls, and we were … Continue reading Year 4, Day 293 →

Year 4, Day 292

It was barely after 5:00 this evening when I got a text from Jaclyn saying, "Miles had another bad day at school." My heart sank. This was becoming a legitimate trend, as the "selective hearing" Miles has been exhibiting around us has slowly seeped into his life away from us. I expect him to test … Continue reading Year 4, Day 292 →

Year 4, Day 289

In the latest of Miles's increasingly unwieldy bedtime stories, PJ Masks villain Night Ninja had shown up at our house (or a fictionalized version of it, anyway) because he had mistaken Miles for Catboy. Although Night Ninja realized his mistake after Miles removed his Catboy mask, Miles had already called for help in the form … Continue reading Year 4, Day 289 →
