Miles - 02/12/2021

Miles ate a large serving of brown rice and ate raisins for breakfast.  Initially he shook his head furiously at the rice, so we started with raisins and went from there. This happens frequently so I always let him choose what he starts with and then I feed him the really messy stuff like rice. For lunch he ate two servings of salmon, ate whole wheat dinner roll, ate riced cauliflower, and ate mangoes. I felt pretty successful after he ate all his riced cauliflower. (Again this is a food I feed to him.) That's a first! Nora was just as happy as me. :)

Miles was the only one here for probably 45 minutes and that was super fun. His first two jobs of the morning; clear top shelf of blocks then move over and clear everything off the top of the dress-up rack. "Ok, I got that done and I'm satisfied with a job well done." He moved on to the toy shelves with the sinks. He climbed up on top of the shelf and when he was getting down he thought about going off facing forward. "That's a bad idea Miles." So he turned around and carefully went off. I clapped and cheered for him. Then (of course) he wanted me to cheer for everything he did. Haha. Third picture: "Hey Gary, there's enough holes in this thing to keep a fella busy for a long time!"  :)

Next two pictures; Cal had this school bus; Miles was playing with it earlier. I have 4 school buses in this toy set. (You can see 2 more in the first pictrue.) I'd offered Miles the twin of this bus and his response was SO interesting. He sat there for 30 seconds looking at it, looking at the one Cal had, looking back and forth maybe two times, and headed over to try to get the one Cal had. Miles grabbed the bus and I grabbed my camera. :) It didn't escalate which is kind of a testament to their temperaments. Then I simply went and got the other bus AGAIN and this time Miles took it. If only ALL situations were that easy to care for. Haha. These two boys really are a joy for me to care for.

Miles ate waffle and three large servings of grapes - LOVE those Candy Snaps - for breakfast. For lunch he ate bite of his chicken, bites of whole wheat tortillas, bites of corn, and ate apple pieces.  Miles was pretty clingy to Daddy this morning and after Ryan left I told Miles; "Good job not crying." Miles said, "At Grandma Pam's?" Haha. Sure, at Grandma Pam's. Then he was telling me something about "puking" and I basically never figured it out except for this; "I got watermelon puke." Haha. Ok, whatever. First picture: Well did you notice Miles in this picture? Haha. He's laying on the couch, but I wanted to show you what he frequently does after arrival when he's a bit "bent out of shape." He wasn't crying or super upset, he just didn't like the transition. (He was playing with his truck and one of my tractors.) He likes to be alone and just regroup before starting his day. Side Note: This might be good info...

Miles ate whole wheat toast and three large servings of candy grapes. For lunch he ate bites of pork roast, bites of whole wheat tortillas, ate half of his carrots, and three large servings of fruit salad. Random notes:  Miles asked, "Did the thunder come to your house?" Yup. "Was it loud?" Yup. "Why?" Haha. I was snuggling Nora on the couch and Miles was listening to what I said to Nora. "Nora, You've always been my girl! You're so very sweet." Miles said, "I miss my Mom." LOL!! That hit my funny bone and I laughed so hard. Miles started laughing when he saw my reaction. So cute and sweet. I love how kids frequently arrange their words! On our way to Cold Springs Playground Nora started taking about Big Willy again as we passed his house. "I can't believe he died." Yes that was sad for me too! She said, "Did they bury him up ?" "Put him into ashes?" "Or in the sea?" So precious. Firs...

Miles ate three large servings of French toast covered with three large servings of strawberries for breakfast. For lunch he ate pork roast, saltines, half of his carrots, and ate his fruit salad. Right after breakfast Miles said, "Outside? Outside? Outside?" Cal said, "Well it's too foggy." Haha. "We'll go outside after Snack today Miles just like we did yesterday." So here is a picture from yesterday afternoon. The snow is pretty frozen underneath the new couple of inches we got. It makes for hard walking across the snow, but it was pretty entertaining to watch!! Especially when the boys also tried to push dump trucks across it as well. Miles gave up on that and just laid down on the path to the garage. :) Next picture: This picture from this morning reminds me of yesterday afternoon when the boys awoke from their naps and wanted to do some puzzles. As they were working Cal said, "Hey Gary! Miles did not yell at me when I was doing the puzzl...
