Recently I talked about how Jamie suddenly seems so grown up. It hit me the other day that, however challenging it can be sometimes having a 2 year old, he'll never be 2 again. He'll never be at THIS particular moment and stage again. Will I forget what he was like at 2 years 9 months old? It scares me that I probably will - in the same way that I find it hard to remember him as a newborn or a 1 year old.
It's the same with Daisy. Most of the time I still think of her as a little baby, but she's not. When I look at her objectively, as others would, I can see that she's slowly but surely becoming more like a toddler. And yet to me, it feels like no time at all since the night she was born. I find it hard to believe that she's only a couple of months away from her 1st birthday.
It's all going too quickly and I could really do with time slowing down for a while and letting me embed each memory in my mind so it stays forever. That's why this blog is important to me - a way of grabbing hold of moments and pinning them down in print and pictures, describing them and trying to capture the essence of what our lives are like RIGHT NOW. So that in years to come, when I try to remember what it was like having a 2yr9m old and a 9 month old, I can look back and have my memory jogged.
