For example. We had planned to celebrate Miles's birthday last Sunday. However, he fell asleep right before dinner and we went ahead and (shamefully) ate his birthday cake without him. So, the next night for FHE we had a quick lesson and then I held a single burning candle while we sang him Happy Birthday and then let him open presents. So, no pictures of that. Well, on Wednesday (his actual birthday)I was feeling guilty that he probably felt a little gypped. (Okay, he probably couldn't care less, but I thought he was getting the short end of the birthday stick.) I packed up Miles and Lucas and a candle and lighter and we were off to a Miles-chosen destination for lunch. And of course that means we went to Big Ron's Steakhouse (thank you Courtney!)
I ceremoniously lit the candle, sang him the song and voila... instant birthday.
Miles loves to help me clean during the day. He's very helpful. Sorta.
Today, for example, he helped me make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. I even let him lick the beaters. Does that earn me some good mom points?
Oh! Gotta go, cookies just beeped.

I love the candle in the burger. Why didn't I think of that?
My biggest "helper" is my 2 year old right now. I can't do anything without hearing, "I help you mom."
Miss you Miles. Love the burger.
