A few Miles-isms that he has been using lately:
"whentil" = until, as in "let's wait when-til we get home..."
Tonight we were playing a game with plastic magnifying glasses, which Miles calls "magnet-fying glasses"
At bedtime tonight when I told him he had to go to sleep: "But Mama, I want to be nocturnal so I can be awake at night."
Lots more, but this was all I could think of right now.

Photos!
If one were a neat-freak, Play-Doh would not be my friend (ha!). But Miles received a Play-Doh "Pizza Maker" for his birthday, which I HAPPILY got out:
His final creation!
More HOT weather = more days at the beach. He wears his life jacket and off he goes "swimming." Relief on the way.

Puzzles (and crazy-making)
With no help from me, Miles has been completing jigsaw puzzles (24 pieces):
Here he is, hard at work on another:
On another note, Miles has been driving me CRAZY lately. I know that I have written before that I don't know whether it's (a) grieving, or (b) being four. It's likely a combination of both. The 4 hours between school pick-up (4:30) and bedtime (8:30ish) are sometimes dreadful...lots of defiance, whining, and unpleasantness. And of course it coincides with the time that I have to prepare dinner, clean (wish I could give him that chore!), and bedtime routine...AAAAAHHHH! However, I would like to say that the vast majority of time, Miles is absolutely a joy...but it's these occasional times of defiance that I really, really miss having a partner. :-(
And then there's the other 90% of the time when Miles is snuggly and happy...today, he LEAPT into my arms at pick-up and said, "Mama, I'm sooooooo happy to see you!"
