As I was putting Jake to bed last night and he laid that sweet little head on my shoulder as I stood by his crib like I do every night. Then as he does every night, he flopped his body so that he was being cradled in my arms like a baby, I realized that I wanted to get back into documenting these precious little moments that are flying by right before my eyes. I want to always remember my bedtime routine with him where I change him into pj's and change his diaper while he squirms around like a crazy person, then sit on the floor looking at books with him, then finally standing by his crib to sing him "take me out to the ball game" (great lullabye, I know, but he loves it). Laying him into the crib as he's signing "more" for one more song before I leave his room.
I want to look back in a few months/years/decades and re-read this with my kids/hubby and smile thinking about all of these sweet little routines, the great times, the sad times, the hard times, the accomplishments, etc. I want to remember it all. Abbie is 6 now, and I already don't remember even a tenth of what I swore in the moment, I would never forget. Truth is, my memory sucks (thanks mom, totally inherited that gene from you)! So this is my solution.
