You think it’s bad now, wait till they’re much older, and you’re struggling to remember their names! I was “Ta-Shelli” growing up, and my sister was “Sh-Tara” (I think I got the better end of that deal! LOL).

But seriously, I only remember things if they were excruciatingly important. Like time of birth, general month of first steps, and did I leave my kid in the car or the store (when I was finally home after a horrible grocery shopping trip). Some things come back when triggered. Some things I can pull from his baby book (entries dwindled after the first birthday, and were non-existent by the 2nd) or from picture albums (I had the presence of mind to write dates on the back of the pics) or from the digital pics (dates automatically generated by the camera!) or school records, etc. But I’ll be damned if I can remember any DATES on my own!

You’re not alone, and you’re not a bad mother. You’re perfectly normal! So, take that super-moms! 😉

I bet those other moms don’t have an awesome blog like you! Forget dropping dates and start talking about your blog and google analytics. They won’t know what to say. BTW, does anyone name their kids Suzy and Sally anymore?

Wow, Mindy. I remember every single detail of my children’s lives. I’m so sorry you’re inadequate as a mother. That must be so hard for you….(you do know that’s sarcasm right? I always fret people will not detect the sarcasm in my voice based on the slant of my letters)

On a better note, I did give you a beautiful blog award, so check it out and enjoy your homework! heh,heh…

I am so bad about dates, names, places. Those don’t seem to stick, but I do remember the event and the feelings that went with it.

Don’t let them gals get to ya. You do remember the important stuff, thats all that counts.

In reply to Spot. It's amazing how kids and their firsts can be SO different! A 9- month old walker?!? Lordy. And, actually, 12 parties wouldn't really shock me. These elementary school parents LOVE to throw birthday parties. =) Mindy

Ah…baby books are way overrated. Or so they say (*they* being the ones who have failed to complete said baby books.) =)

Hey, two for three ain’t bad. Hey…I’m a third child (well, 2.5…I have a twin brother) and I had to use my baby book for my Cabbage Patch Kid. Now that’s sad. =)
