Je Regrette

I wish I had taken more video of E when he was little.

I just found a video of him a year ago at his birthday and his voice was so freaking cute.  Today, he still sounds like a little kid, but he's swiftly losing his baby voice and pretty soon all traces of that baby will be gone.  I have lots of recordings from when he was an actual infant and toddler, because he was always cooing and dancing and doing goofy things.  His memorable times are harder to catch now, not because he's less cute, but because he's moving at a much faster speed than he used to.  I'm left in the dust, gasping at how quickly time is passing, and wanting to hold onto each second for just a little bit longer than the clock will allow.

So if I ever have another child, maybe the first thing I should do is buy a high-quality, compact video camera.

Or just leave lots of room on my fancy smart phone.
