Horse Thieves

September 7, 2012 By morgan

Reading By the Shores of Silver Lake with Milo last night and we came to a chapter called “Horse Thieves”. We started talking about what kind of people might become horse thieves and what they might look like. I asked Milo if he thought he’d know a horse thief when he saw one and he said he would. When I asked him how he’d know, he thought about it for a second and replied, “it would be written on the back of their shirts”.

That was worth a good chuckle. If only life could be so nicely organized that we all wore uniforms saying what we were…

Different

July 19, 2012 By morgan

Milo eats his favorite parts of the meal first and saves the worst for last. I do the opposite.

I see a cardboard box and think recycling. Milo sees a cardboard box and sees possibilities.

Milo sometimes pees in bed, could care less, and keeps on sleeping. I can’t go back to sleep after I pee in bed.

I bat righty. Milo bats lefty.

Milo is a Yankee fan of convenience. I am a steadfast Yankee fan. (Milo roots for the Yanks if he wants something from me, and roots for the Red Sox if he wants something from Rachel)

I prefer to eat breakfast in one sitting. Milo prefers to eat 1 bite, play, another bite, play, 2 bites, go see what mom is doing, 1 bite, leave the house for 3 hours, returns and demands to know where his bowl of cereal is…

Milo lives in the moment. I worry about the future and regret the past.

Dad, isn’t today a good day to play chess and drink some beers?

Birthday Party #5: Scavenger Hunt

June 20, 2012 By morgan

The clouds parted and we woke up to a killer sunny day after a week of rain in Providence – just in time for a Milo’s 5th b-day party, a scavenger hunt in Lippett Park of Providence’s eastside. Hard to believe the little dude is half a decade old already.

1st violin recital

June 20, 2012 By morgan

Miss Ariel held a violin recital on April 14th for her Suzuki students. It was tons of fun and great to see Milo’s reaction when the “big” kids played. They were pretty incredible and inspiring for both of us. Milo rocked out a “Twinkle Variation A” (“Mississippi Hot Dog” bow rhythm). And then his entire class played an ensemble “Monkey Song”.
