I have been terrible about documenting my boys lives in their baby books. This blog I write to them...so they can know themselves throughout their life. It will give them a glimpse of the things we decided to do for them and with them ...Giving this experience called parenthood a shot and trying to be the best parents we know how to be, learning as we go.
“The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.”
