Miles & Melodie

No baby Melodie yet. Today is her due date!

Before Miles has to share this space with his little sister (and everything else) I'll take this time to write some more just about him.

'

Miles' transition into his new school has been surprisingly smooth. He seems to love everything about it and always has a big smile on his face when it's time to go and when we pick him up. It truly couldn't be going any better. I was concerned initially that we are making him go through too many changes at once (new school, new baby). He has been there for two months now and is very well adjusted to the new setting.

It's been fun to watch how much he is learning. He randomly starts singing a new song that he learned, new phrases, commands, etc. Things like "you are welcome," "I am sorry mama," don't push me..." He also plays school at home. They take naps on little cots, and lately he has been making a little cot at home with blankets and pillows on the floor pretending to have to take a nap. He tells me that I am "Ms. Chris " or "Ms. Diane" which are both teachers of his.

This morning we were getting ready to sit down and have breakfast. I was about to start eating when he said, "wait, don't eat yet." I put my plate back down. He put his two hands together and starting saying "Thank you for this fancy meal." He said this a few more times and then told me that I could go ahead and eat. It was one of those moments of disbelieve and I just stared at him wondering if he really just said that or if I am imagining things. Another one of those moments was when he caught me picking my nose (ahem) and he said "do you need a tissue?" Really? he just asked me if I needed a tissue? Who is the kid here?

This morning we sang "happy birthday" together for Frank. I hope Melodie heard it too. She has about 15 more hours to share the same birthday with her papa.
