Catch a Memory!
A couple of weeks ago my youngest child had to make a trip to the hospital--it seems he had stuck a Leggo up his nose!
My wife had our point-and-shoot camera with her. She pulled it out, put it in video mode, and captured a few minutes of Jacob talking about his "event".
This is a memory that we will play back for him in the years ahead--and being as it is video, will be much more ""memorable" than my wife simply telling the story.
I share this because I encourage you to take not only photos, but short videos of your children. You don't have to use your old bulky videotape camera--use your point and shoot camera--or your cell phone--or something similar to the "Flip Video" I mentioned in aprevious post.
These memories are fleeting--catch them while you can!

I bet my family wished they'd had a camera the time I got my tonsils taken out. I woke up from anesthesia and I remember my eyes feeling very heavy, and the light was so bright that for the life of me I could not open my eyes. I suddenly came to a solution only a three year old could proclaim. "I'm blind!" I shouted. My family was trying to hard not to laugh...but they sure love telling it and retelling it to everyone who might listen.
That's funny!
Your story reminded me of another. When we were young, my father was in the army. We were stationed overseas (Izmir, Turkey).
Driving to the ball park with the kids, my father got into a fender bender...the Turkish police came. Because it was raining they took my dad into their car to fill out the paperwork. Through the heavy rain you could barely see anyone in the police car.
Someone in the police car lit a cigarette...my three year old brother, who was in the car with me (and already a little nervous) screamed out "THEY'RE BURNING DADDY!".
