details to remember

I don't have a great memory.  I forget things very easily, and although I have great memories of my childhood, they are not sharp, clear memories.  I make a lot of lists, I keep this blog as a reminder of what my little family has been doing, and I take lots of photos.  Mostly with my phone if I'm being honest.

Yesterday the littles and I soaked in the warm sun and played out in the grass.  And as I took pictures of them playing, I just kept thinking: Will you remember?

 Will you remember how much she loves to smell flowers?

Will you remember how he shares everything with her? Will you remember elbow dimples?

 Will you remember how she can concentrate with laser perfection?

 Will you remember how he takes everything apart to figure out how it's made?

 Will you remember little feet in grass?

 Will you remember how big and pretty her eyes are now on her little face?

 Will you remember how all his pants slip down?  Every. Single. Pair?

 Will you remember how happy and excited they are when Papa gets home?

 Will you remember how she picks every flower that blooms, even though you don't want her to, but then she so sweetly says, "But it's for you, mama!"?

Will you remember how little they are?  

I will try.
