Miles ate French toast and dried plums for breakfast. For lunch he ate pulled pork, whole wheat toast, peas, and strawberries. 

I've seen this exact same scenario played out more times than I can count!! Trying to teach "social skills" to 1 - 5 year olds is challenging and frequently hilarious. I instructed Svea to say to Miles; "Don't hit me. I don't like that." Before Svea had a chance to speak Miles repeated what I said. Looking at Svea he said, "Don't hit me!!" I'm talking to her, not you Slick!! Haha.

First picture: I think the delivery person had his ear buds in because Miles was beating vigorously on the window with no response from that guy! Haha. Second picture: Atley hid the eggs for Miles and he was thrilled to find a few of them. He's actually pretty good at the game.

Next picture: This is a "coffee table" book put together and self-published by a friend of mine. It's full of beautiful pictures and descriptions of flora and fauna of the Peace River Valley country of Central Alberta. (Her husband is a pilot so there are lots of pictures taken from above.) Svea saw a picture of a bald eagle landing and said, "Looks like a superhero!!" :)

Next picture; Svea had actually moved this book over here for Miles to get out of the cozy corner. She was changing out of her dance clothes and "I want privacy!" Ha. Miles wasn't real thrilled about this, but he didn't complain too much! Last picture: "Can we get out the Sand Box!? Can we get out the Sand Box!?!" Haha. Same question as he comes through the door every morning. Yes we can "get it out." It will take a lot of work, but we'll get it out again!! :)

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...
