I am brand new to blogging. An absolute novice if you ask me. Between work and kids, its often the most precious moments of our life that get lost. I don't remember the first time S took his baby steps. I remember vaguely it was around 10.5 months. I don't remember when he said his first words. Forgotten. Lost in the memories of a brain which is coping with information overload. If you look at most of us urbanites today, especially those of us who are in the IT space, we have developed good short term memory, at the expense of our long term memory. I suppose I am not qualified to comment on this, but maybe, just maybe.. there is a connection.
Now M here, she is at an interesting stage in life. She is about to turn 5, is very curious, is asking lots of cute questions, and generally making us smile with all the tumble of words coming out of her little mouth. This time around, I set about thinking if I should document everything remotely cute that she says. I would love to, of course. But I am Lazy with a big L. Between going in to work, minding the house and kids, I usually end up feeling that I have reached my quota in a day. Come 11:00 p.m. and you can find me snoring, having fallen asleep, while ostensibly working on the laptop.
Hopefully, no more though. Human memory, or in this particular case, my memory is far too short-lived. Better late,than never, but hopefully I will capture the few highlights of our little life here, which are special for us as a family. If it makes a good read, even more better. But at the end of every day, writing a wee bit will give me a better chance at remembering a nice little episode I would like to remember 10 years from now. When the birds have flown, and the nest is empty, one shall reminisce about the good old days... I suppose. Maybe the kids will themselves get a kick from reading about their little antics once they are grown up.
