Too much other stuff going on and then time slips away. I loved your list of things Justin is doing now. Maybe just try writing about that on here once/week. It will be fun to come back later and read those. About your other post, I like the t-shirt idea. Make Justin a shirt that says, "Wash your hands first, please!" :) Sounds very familiar!

It sounds to me like you are experiencing what lots of parents do. It seems to become harder to keep track of everything the more faces join the family dinner table. I can only imagine how it must feel, but I know it happens. Case in point: I have 3 photo albums from my childhood. My middle sister has 2. My baby sister has 1. I am quite certain it doesn't mean our parents cared any less for my sisters than they did for me... they were just busier, which can't be avoided at some level. I think all you can ever do is the best you can manage... and being there for all of those moments is infinitely more valuable than remembering to write them down. Besides, like Loi, perhaps, I happen to think the blog is a very special gift for him, whether or not it is as tangible as the pages of a book. Nikki Ahhh yes.
