Miles is working on pronunciation of many new words. He will often repeat himself until you repeat it back to him. He wants to make sure you understand and know EXACTLY what he is thinking.
Last night he looked at me and said very clearly, CRABBY PRINCESS.
I think that he was talking about Sophia, because then he just started laughing.
He has also started to run ahead of you and stop on a dime and say, "Beat You".
His words are just great. My mom's favorite is JAMBALAYA. Miles loves her jambalaya and continues to want more.
He is definately turning into a fearless 2 year old boy. Loves to jump, run, play in dirt, chase bugs, climb, hide, chase sister, and play jokes. This kid will definately keep us busy!!

145 hours of darkness
Yes, we were without power for 145 hours, which is 8700 minutes, which is also 522,000 seconds. This happened on Sunday afternoon. I had taken the kids to a birthday party at the park and the winds were pretty crazy, even then. What had happened was that 2 weather systems collided, Hurricane Ike and a cold front coming down from Canada. This did not turn out well for anyone that lived in columbus, ohio. Most people that I know, lost power for a long time.
What we did:
1. went to be early without any guilt (9:00 p.m. to be exact.)
2. slept in late because it is hard to get ready without power (7:00 a.m. - wow 10 hours a night for 6 nights!)
3. had slumber parties in Sophia's room
4. got a lot of outside work done, including staining our fence.
5. drank a bottle of champainge at 4:00 on a Thursday, because it was going to go bad.
what we missed:
1. just watching even a little tv.
2. some extra noise in the house
3. cold food and drinks in the morning, we lost everything.
4. Sophia missed 3 days of school since the school had no power. Only 2 more calamity days left.
what we now have:
1. a new appreciation for those who have gone thru hurricanes
2. a very clean fridge and freezer (both upstairs and downstairs)
3. empty fridges that need filled
4. knowing that we never want to live in an Amish community

Getting taller
This morning, Sophia woke me up due to the thunder and lightening. I crawled into her bed and we just talked. She was really excited to be awake. We just talked about stuff and she said "When you go to work next, I bet people notice that you have gotten taller."
I was a little confused, so I asked her what she meant. She told me, " Your older now, so you are taller too."
Yesterday was my 31st b-day. We have continued to tell her that she looks taller now that she is older. I guess she thinks it works for everyone.
