Importance of Keeping Records

I'm a Class A procrastinator. Obviously from my sporadic blog posts, you can tell. But one thing I'm regretting right now is not keeping a record of my little monster's progress. I remember thinking "Yeah, I should write this down, print that photo and put it in an album."

That was a year and eight months ago. I still haven't printed his birthday photos and yep, I still don't have a book where to write his firsts (first steps, first food, when he started talking, etc.) I still don't have one and it's making me feel bad. I also lost his baby book, so yeah. Talk about feeling REALLY bad.

I'm the type of person who can't start something if there are missing materials or ingredients. As an excuse, I kept telling myself, I don't have a baby book to write all these awesome things. But today's different. I brought the little boy to the doctor and when she asked me what are the previous medications prescribed to my little boy, I couldn't answer. I gave as much medicine names as I can remember buying but of course, that's not as accurate as what a baby book would have provided.

I kept thinking about this on our way home and so, I'm taking my 2014 planner and putting notes about my little boy in that book. I'm not a planning person anyway, so it's fine.

For starters, I promise to print out his birthday photos soon. :))

Such a lazy afternoon, my little boy's napping. I just want to doze off and do nothing but I'm sure I'll regret that later!
