Link

We have decided that Miles is one of the funniest kids ever. And the most stubborn, but we'll talk about that later, I'm sure. Miles has decided that he is not infact Miles, but Link, the main character in the Nintendo video game Zelda. He was introduced to the world of Zelda when we were in Utah a couple weeks ago. So, whenever you call him Miles, he says, "I'm Link." His uncles are very proud of this. Miles has also decided that his socks are "Link socks," and will not let you take them off. Luckily any pair of socks will qualify as Link socks, so he hasn't been wearing the same pair for the last week.
I have also realized that I have to be very careful of the phrases I use around Miles. The other day, when I made him unhappy, he said I needed a timeout. He also later told me that "I was driving him nuts." The other day, I left the kids with Jordan so I could go get dinner, but I did not tell Miles that I was leaving. When I arrived home, he glared at me and said, "Never run away from me again!"
Parenting sure has it's ups and downs, but I am glad that we have moments like this to make it a little easier.
