I have the most wonderful children who do the most wonderful things, often on a daily basis. My kids milestones and accomplishments give me such joy. I sure hope I remember some of them. Somehow, years have slipped by without starting, let alone finishing, a baby book. My son will be a teenager in a few days (gasp), my daughter is well into her 4th year, and I never wrote down a first walk, first tooth, first birthday…. nothing. I don’t really know why…well, that’s not true. I do know why, it’s just a really lame reason. I guess I had a vision of *the* baby book – the ones with the perfect pen, the perfect handwriting, eloquent words – and I was always just a little too tired, a little less than perfect to want to ink anything. I did however, document my children’s lives in the one way I am most confident, in pictures. Thank goodness for Flickr. I’ve posted over 5000 pictures of every little moment. I’ve actually put a caption on all 5338 photos.
This blog started becoming that baby book. The more time passed, the more earth-shattering and perfect I felt my first post back should be. And with that mind-set, it’s been over a year. So, like a Seinfeld episode, I am doing a post about nothing. Hopefully, this will force me into the realization that there is no perfect pen, post, or thought. But lots of moments, some that I just may want to write about.
