as i was watching preslee and mason play together today, i realized that next sunday they will be 8 months old. everyone always told me to cherish every moment because time would fly by. well, they were right, it has. i have attempted to document, take pictures or video every single thing that they do in an attempt to always remember every single moment of their lives. i know this isn't realistic and some day i will be reminded of something that they did and realize that i don't have it on paper or video anywhere. only in my mind will i have those memories.
a friend sent me a video clip by Jeff Scher about the fleeting first years of his son's life. he says, "there is something about the omnivorous now in parenting, and the constantly shifting challenges and demands of the moment, that creates a kind of rolling amnesia for everything yesterday. this film is an attempt to hold onto some of these moments. here is the link to "you won't remember this."
