End of the Line

Miles with his birthday mug. I bought it a few years ago when I still called him by the nickname Caboose. I only let him use it on his birthday because otherwise it would have been broken a few years ago.
Edited to add: His birthday was actually last month, December 12 to be exact. I have been going back through my year of photos and realizing all of the things I had meant to write about, but never did. Because I ran out of time, or they weren’t worthy of a whole post. But things I don’t want to forget. So I thought that I would just randomly post them on the weekends. Sorry that wasn’t clear. What can’t you all read my mind yet? Sheesh!

January 18th, 2010 at 5:33 pmI LOVE this mug - and the fact that you only let use it on his birthday makes it even more special. Just too precious
January 18th, 2010 at 6:26 pmToot toot! That’s a pretty cool mug.
January 18th, 2010 at 6:36 pmthat is so funny, that is what my Grandma called my third child, but we had to pass it down to the fourth…and I hope someday the fifth - grandma gets nervous when I talk like this…
January 18th, 2010 at 6:57 pmSo does that mean today is his birthday? Because if so, then happy birthday, Miles!! PS. I think he could safely carry the mug in his dimples.
January 18th, 2010 at 7:05 pmHappy Birthday Miles. I hope you cherish your birthday mug forever!
January 18th, 2010 at 10:08 pmHappiest Birthday Dear Dimples! (Look at that smile on Miles - he is so adorable — 4/5? — sheesh time flies but I lose track of it constantly!!)
January 18th, 2010 at 10:31 pmReally sweet post and what a precious tradition!
January 19th, 2010 at 1:07 amYou did write about his bday, the “please… just please” post. It was lovely, but awhile back there was one you missed, not sure who! Sorry! Caboose is too cute!
Chris says: Oh, I know I wrote about his birthday. but I didn’t write about his birthday mug!
January 19th, 2010 at 1:12 amWe currently live in France and the last child here is called a Benjamin (don’t know why) It took me forever to figure out that it was really a term and that not all these boys were named Benjamin.
January 19th, 2010 at 3:25 amEven though I KNOW his birthday is in December, my brain is running at such a sludge-like pace that I saw no conflict in posting a birthday photo in January. Until you mentioned it. If everyone else gets as slow as me, we won’t have to read your mind, we’ll just believe whatever you tell us (yesss, massster)!
January 19th, 2010 at 10:14 amLOL…I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have a ton of things I keep thinking, “oh, I’ve got to write about that!” and then I’ll think, “wait, how could I possibly make a whole post about that?” and, “is it really interesting or important to anyone other than myself?”

January 19th, 2010 at 1:28 pmHappy belated birthday, kiddo! Listen to your mama and be careful with your mug - you will love having that memento when you have kiddos of your own!
January 19th, 2010 at 1:54 pmSo cute!!!!
January 19th, 2010 at 4:53 pmI love that cup and that boy is pretty cute, too
January 20th, 2010 at 12:18 pmSWEET mug…..I need one of those for my little dude. I’ve always called him Caboose, too.
January 20th, 2010 at 1:38 pmJust special for him as it looks! Wouldn’t have been like that if it was around for the whole year I’d say. Good job there.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:21 pmthis warms my heart. not only was it his special day but, he got to use his special mug. great idea…not only to keep the mug safe but, to make it extra special!
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:06 amMiles is so gorgeous! In fact, you have one of the most beautiful families I’ve ever seen. You could all be models!
Dissapointed I only just found your blog now - have been crazy reading. Trying to read 5 years in about 5 days.
