I was really busy putting away Christmas decorations and cleaning so I asked the kids to find something to do. The two older kids went and got their baby albums...and Luke asked, "Where's mine?" Oops.
Should I tell him that my firstborn has a scrapbook from 0-6 months, another from 6-12 months, one from 1-2 years, and then albums on top of those? Should I point out that my second child does not have any scrapbook at all, yet has photos from his first two years neatly organized into albums? And then explain that I was shorthanded (literally...I needed an extra hand!), and too tired to process photos of him, my third? I did TAKE the photos...I have a dozen memory cards somewhere in this house. I also had a million from his first few months on my phone, which was stolen (I blogged about it) before I transferred them. I have not printed a single picture of this child. Ever. He will be three in April and he doesn't have a picture of himself...unless you count the Christmas card photos...
Nah, I didn't tell him all those thoughts that flashed through my mind in less than 3 seconds. Instead I handed him an album of Patrick's and passed it off as his. He believed me and said, "Aww, that's me", and I have to admit I felt really bad. I'll get to his pictures soon...REALLY, I will!
