Quick and easy way to record cute moments

You know how your kids say and do the most adorable things that are so incredibly precious you're certain there has never been another child as brilliant and wonderful as they are.  And how everyone says, "Be sure you right those things down!"  And how you are so impossibly busy that it never happens.

Any of this sounding familiar?

 I've come up with a solution!  There are very few things I'm consistent about...but I am pretty consistent at updating my facebook statuses...especially with all the cute things our kids do.  Probably annoyingly so.  So I took a little notebook, went to my profile, and clicked on "Show More Posts" until I got back to the very beginning of all facebook time.  Then I copied down all of those cute statuses into the notebook for safe keeping. 

It was so much fun to look back on all of our kids' precious moments!  They've said some pretty hilarious things.  A few highlights were:

8-13-09-  Micah picked up the toy phone- "I'm calling the garbage man and telling him to come pick up Liliana."  Nice.


1-30-10-  I put Micah to bed tonight and said, "Goodnight sweetheart!  I love you!" and turned to walk out the door.  He shouted after me, "You forgot to say GO TO BED RIGHT NOW!!!"

10-9-10-  We're at a hotel with Jeremy's parents and Liliana wanted to go in the hot tub, but she put her foot in and said it was too hot....so then she asked me to blow on the water to cool it off.

It was also interesting to see the random things I felt were important enough to mention...particularly while potty training Liliana.  Two weeks worth of twice daily updates about her bathroom habits.  Sorry friends!  It was hugely exciting at the time...I promise. 

In any case, if you are a frequent facebook updater I highly recommend this as a way to keep track of those milestones and memories so you don't have to rush off to find their baby book every time something mildly entertaining happens.  Update and then later when you have time, copy it down!
