That is couscous in a jar.

Yesterday when Miles got dressed for school we looked at him and said, "where is he going? first grade?" He was just so handsome in his jeans and rugby. And those new shoes! With Velcro! His feet just keep growing, so he gets a new pair every other month. These are size 6. Even his teacher at school commented on the size of his hands and feet... she said kids are like dogs, they grow into their big paws and Miles has some big ol' paws!

We've been having lots of fun lately, enjoying our extended waking hours. This morning Miles was so excited when he stacked all these things. We were trying to play with very few items as we'd cleaned and vacuumed and were waiting for our playgroup to arrive. But minutes after they arrived, the floor was covered in toys. He did plant another smooch on Ava, the same girl from last week. I hope the others didn't get jealous!

Over the weekend we celebrated two birthdays. I turned 32 on Monday and my friend Erin did the same on Saturday. Seems like for the last many years that we've lived in the same town we've had birthday dinner together. This year was a little different with two little ones. Miles was checking out Eileen, but I guess he was saving his smooches for later.

Since Erin tagged me on her blog, I'll join in the fun.. "The ABC's of Me" (or should I do the "ABCs of Miles"?)
