Patrick said something to me the other day while we did Bennett’s bedtime routine that really struck my heart strings. Well…. it actually made me sad but thinking of Bennett growing up in general is such a bittersweet thought process.

“Bennett won’t remember any of this.”

Some of the sweetest moments I have had with Bennett, he won’t remember them when he get’s older. He won’t remember me rocking him in the middle of the night, he won’t remember the day he was born which completely changed my life or many other events that will happen his first year.  

These past four months have been filled with so much love, joy, hard work and patience as Patrick and I have morphed into being mom and dad… and he won’t remember any of it. One reason I love to journal, blog, take pictures and videos, is so that we can remember the little things.

For example, one of my favorite things to do is wake Bennett up in the morning (or go in there to get him). He doesn’t often wake up crying, normally we hear him cooing and talking over the monitor and we know he is ready to eat. I decided to capture a short video of me waking him up so that I can show him when he is older.

Enjoy one of my favorite videos to date of my sweet little boy.
