Year 4, Day 321

Once Miles discovered that there's a Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated movie, he 1) demanded to watch it and 2) spent the next 90 minutes running back and forth in front of the TV with his pirate sword down the back of his shirt.

Year 4, Day 199

The opportunities the past two years have afforded us to see some of our closest family members have been greatly diminished, which has been difficult for a number of reasons, not the least of which is robbing Miles's aunts, uncles, and grandparents of the chance to see him at various developmental stages.

Year 2, Day 66

Year 2, Day 21

"Look in the bathtub," Jaclyn said after I arrived home tonight. She took Miles to daycare today, and her usual morning routine had been beset by Miles's mischievousness. Knowing Miles pretty well at this point, I almost knew what to expect before I even looked in the tub. Yep, he has started moving balls from … Continue reading Year 2, Day 21 →
