Recently we were watching some old family videos. Seeing each of my four children when they were "little" brought tears to my eyes, they were all so cute!
There were some clips we remembered well and loved, while others we had forgotten all about. While watching Girl 1 open a Christmas present in 1993, I was reminded of something funny she had said while I was working on a cross stitch so long ago. The gift was a little sewing kit, and I told her that now she could, "Drop two stitches," just like Mommy.
We were looking forward to a clip of Girl 2 saying a poem. She was only three. After the poem I asked her to say hello to Grammy. We laughed until we cried as we watched her peer into and around the camcorder looking for her Grammy so she could say hello!
Boy 1 has always loved to have his hair cut. Even if it was only pretend and his sisters ran around him with combs and home made paper scissors. Boy 1 calmly sat there, obviously pleased with the attention.
Boy 2 used to be a speed crawler, we tried several times to get it on tape. We often wondered how he could crawl so quickly, didn't it hurt his knees? We now know that he really couldn't feel pain in certain areas of his body. Some of his nerves were almost, "turned off" while others were in hyper mode. To think it would take five more years to learn that... Baby Boy, I am so sorry!
Dear Man and I have spent the last couple of days repeating lines from the video's, sometimes just laughing out of the blue remembering. If my house is burning down, I pray I can save our photo's and video's. Everything else, as treasured as some of it is, can burn, but I know that as faulty as my memory is now, the memories saved on film may be all I have in my old age. |
