I wanted to really ponder this week's list. I wanted to make it thoughtful and interesting. I wanted to change your lives with the incredible meaning of it.
Who am I kidding, its just a little list.
As the kids are growing up way too fast, roll the video camera and make sure you get these things on tape,(or DVD, or SD card?)
-sports practices, games and lessons (in case they make it to the big leagues)
-the play the kids write, direct and perform in the basement(in case they make it in Hollywood)
-quiet moments like sleeping or reading (too prove it happened)
-first day of the school year (every year until they forbid it)
-sibling arguments...okay, we know they're really fights (for therapy later)
What did I miss?
We seem to focus so much attention on the early years, understandably so, they change so much in the first couple of years. As they get older, the changes are more subtle and yet sometimes more profound. Most importantly, capturing those moments reminds them that we love them.
I have to go now. There is a giant baby chewing on a defenceless "Little" bus driver.

That's a great list of things I need to remember to capture as Jak gets older. Right now I'm just focused on getting as many of the first year 'firsts' as I can. I really need to be better at taping more...which means that I should find a way to attach the camera to me so it's always top of mind!
I believe we should record our children having at least one hissy fit. That way we can play it back to them when they have children of their own ;-)
don't forget the picture/video while in the bath tub. To show the boy/girl friend to embarrass them when they are older or possible blackmail. Also to get the therapy started.
