Year 4, Day 238

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

Don't do … Continue reading Year 3, Day 359 →

Year 3, Day 353

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 ants go marching one by one hurrah, hurrah. The ants go marching one by one hurrah, hurrah..." In … Continue reading Year 3, Day 353 →
