I hadn’t thought to start saving for their future therapy needs… that might be a more useful form of parenting insurance…

ah yes, pictures. there is the fact that i forget to take them coupled with the fact that i never print those i have taken multiplied by the fact that my hard drive chose to crash so i lost the few i had taken. to the power of not having a single baby photo printed, framed, no scrap books made, no baby books, no paper trail of my children’s existence at all!

fantastic. i have no parental insurance. abort mission. seek solace in a glass of wine perhaps and saving up money for their future therapist(s)?

I -heart- long comments.

And: Yes, exactly. Five things AT LEAST.

I think this post was written for me, no? Yesterday we had Max’s third birthday party. By the skin of my teeth I DID remember the camera AND the little flip video camera HOWEVER, there are huge moments of our lives that have gone undocumented.

And virtual memories? Yup. I’m with you there too. No photo albums or scrap books (who has time?). Only a few pictures in frames of the first born when HE was a baby. But the kids hound me to see pictures all the time on the computer. So I feel like I am depriving them. And I have grand plans to frame my favorites and put them on the wall going up the stairs…if we ever get to finishing the job of the half-painted stairs.

Whenever you want to do one thing it’s like you have to do five OTHER things just to accomplish it.

Sigh. Sorry for the long comment.
