Oh, you *know* I am going to make hard-bound books for them. I’m so sick, it might end up being a yearly thing :-)

For the record, I do have a child in the younger set. Tor is 21 months old. He’ll have his turn in the limelight… eventually!

Oh yes a hardback version will give them proof that will stand up in a courtroom. Only kidding.

Grandma and Granddad – what do you mean when you are demented?

If I’m honest I can’t actually remember the name of that teacher. He was our form tutor so basically just took the register and that was it.

We’re so glad that you have done all this for much the same reasons, and when we are old(er) and more demented – then looking at the blog/hard copy will help us remember too. You wont have problems with your memory though having had such an illustrious teacher as Alan Sugar (just looked at your school pic on Flickr).

Nicely put. I sometimes wonder if I’ll still be blogging when my kids get older, or if I’ll chuck it aside. I like to think of it as something that is a life-long habit. Perhaps when our kids are grown, blogging as we now know it will be seen as an old person’s hobby.

If this whole blog thing isn’t just a fad, and actually exists when our kids grow up these posts will be a wonderful thing to pass on to our kids. People make fun of me for doing this but the fact is, amongst all the chatter and BS are real events and stories that actually chronicle our entire family’s lives. I’ve thought about the blog binding thing myself lately so I agree with Whit – it probably will become a common service before too long.

Hello “t’other dan” (I really would like to know how that is pronounced. Another great post.

I recently asked my son’s kindergarten teacher what she feels about teaching a class of students that will, in all likelihood, never remember her. I mean, I have vague memories of 3rd grade or maybe earlier, but I am not sure I remember my teacher.

She looked at me and said, “they may not remember me, but they will remember what I taught them and that is all that matters to me.”

Your children and my Baby Goats are never going to remember this time of their lives (thank the gods since I believe I screw this up every single day) but they will remember what we teach them.

Have fun

the Dan that wishes he was as good as t’other Dan

The company used to exist but it looks like they have gone out of business.

Ah yes, I too would love to hand over that hard copy. Does that company exist yet? Seems like there would be a nice market there.
