Year 5, Day 187: Baby’s First Day of Pre-K!

This morning, I came downstairs to absolute chaos. Miles was crying, Jaclyn was frustrated, and I was left wondering just how things got to this point. It was shoes. Today was Miles's first day of school at Cadence Academy. While he won't be attending daily until after Labor Day, the new students' first days are … Continue reading Year 5, Day 187: Baby’s First Day of Pre-K! →

Year 4, Day 331

Last night, upon being told it was once again snowing outside, Miles quickly decided that merely looking through the window was insufficient. You'll notice he at least had the good sense to put shoes -- his MOTHER'S shoes -- on before attempting to leave the house.

Year 3, Day 10

When mommy's away...

Year 2, Day 245

This weekend, Miles came home from his grocery store trip with a pair of Elmo slippers. He was...excited about these. He didn't want to take the slippers off for bed last night, which I allowed, but he was EXTREMELY incensed to discover he couldn't wear them to school this morning. When it was time to … Continue reading Year 2, Day 245 →

Year 2, Day 50

I came home from trivia tonight to find more items Miles has stashed in strange places. Maybe he was trying to remind me to put socks on and...play ball with him?
