Miles was really excited to let me know he had personally packed a special surprise in my lunch bag. I've gotta hand it to him -- he may have a lot of learning to do about appropriate behavior, but he's always willing to share even his most coveted snack treats.

Year 5, Day 202
On a recent trip to Costco, we agreed to let Miles pick out a snack of his choice -- something he could have on-hand that was quick and easy for car travel, such as our morning commute, or as an afterschool treat.
