We found an alternative to the vacuum tonight. Miles was helping to clean up some dirt off the floor and put each little piece in his small dump truck.
For national dog day we let Hurley stay in Miles' room after we put Miles to bed. When we went back awhile later he had wrapped Hurley up in a little blanket all cozy on his bed. Miles was very sad when we took him away but calmed down after mama sang the usual 5 songs.
