Me, Christina and Trinity sat down tonight and watched old videos from around the time when Luke was a tiny tot, Ben was only a couple years older and Trinity was right in the last few years of still being considered a younger kiddo. They warmed our heart so much.
It is amazing how much you can forget of only a few years back.
When Trinity was little videos were still on those annoying camcorders with those things that looked like mini-vhs. Also, you had to remember to carry the camera and have it ready… which you almost never did.
One of the greatest advances for parents in the last few years is the cell phone camera. They can take burst mode shots, take videos and best of all, they are always on you.
So here is my advice… take TONS of videos and pictures using these amazing pocket-sized devices and find an easy way to share them. Your family won’t be able to get enough. Yes, you may annoy acquaintances with how much they see of your nugget, but it is totally worth it. One day in a few years when you are sitting around watching videos with your spouse and oldest kiddo laughing hysterically you can think back on this post and thank me.
