I remember working at a Summer camp for underpriviledged kids many years ago, way before I got married, let alone had a Little One myself. And we were told by the leader something *she* had been told by a wise woman – that we were there to create memories for the kids.

It is a weight!

Oh, and to make it worse for you? Personally, I remember learning to talk! I also remember being in my cot aged about 18months, and I remember listening to conversations of my parents not knowing all the words.

My *toddler* is in the danger zone!!

And, of course, we can do all sorts of wonderful things with our kids, and then they’ll remember random stuff – I remember being sick at my childminder’s, but not her taking me to the beach!

I WISH that I could remember the things like burying pets or gutting fish. I’m stuck with some crud and lots of moves because we switched from moms house to dads family when I was 11, and did the best I could to forget the early stuff.

Here’s to more lullabies to make those memories stick, and not the F-bombs. )

Not every kid wants you to pull the guts from a fish. Just saying.

My daughter was a fan of worms though, and would gleefully dig in any ole pile of dirt to find them for the garden.

Rainbow Connection is one of our favourites, too. Still. (She’s 17.)
