During Miles's bath last night, he started belting out a song while I was out of the room. It took me a second, but I finally realized what it was and, well, it was surprising. See if YOU can name that song! https://videopress.com/v/pSbprQk4?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata

Year 4, Day 39
While he isn't quite ready for his favorite TV competition show, Miles absolutely loves singing. Sometimes they're songs we can sing along to together (when he allows me to join him). Other times they're songs he's picked up at daycare that I don't know what the hell they are. This morning, he started merrily singing … Continue reading Year 4, Day 39

Year 3, Day 359
Miles is very protective (or whiny, depending on your perspective) of certain things, one of which is music. If he has deemed something "his song" and you start singing it, you'd best be ready for a swift and decisive (and shrill and, yes, whiny) verbal assault. "No!" Miles will scream. "That's MY song! Don't do … Continue reading Year 3, Day 359

Just in time for the weekend, Miles has brought another new song home from daycare to repeat ad nauseam. He started singing it merrily tonight and was only stopped by his need for sleep at bedtime.

The only thing he knows, beyond a doubt, is that it's Christmastime, and Santa Claus is indeed coming.

Year 3, Day 271: Daddy’s Birthday (or Miles’s SECOND Second Birthday)
Last weekend after Miles and Jaclyn returned from grocery shopping, I asked him what he got at the store. His response, despite all the food they had brought home, was direct and focused on one thing alone. "We got Daddy a Star Wars card!" he said happily, ruining some small part of my birthday surprise. … Continue reading Year 3, Day 271: Daddy’s Birthday (or Miles’s SECOND Second Birthday)
