Touch Recorder
Photos record things that we see, video can record sights and sound, but I wish there was some way to also record touch. I hate that before I know it I will forget how soft Corgan's skin is, how his little peach-fuzz hair feels, how his tiny little round head fits so perfectly in my hand, his little fingers wrap so tightly around my thumb, and how small and light his little body feels in my arms. It's amazing, sad, and scary how fast you can forget even wonderful little things like that.

I think it's truly wonderful that you take the time and write those thoughts down because even though there isn't a "touch recorder" *yet*, I have a feeling that re-reading these posts in a few years will help bring back memories of those wonderful feelings!!
I agree with you. I've already forgotten all of those things about Zach. I'm looking forward to cherishing them with Kaitlyn!
I think that is why God allows us to become grandparents.. when our children are all grown and we have been through all it takes to get them to adulthood.. then there are those precious grandchildren to help you remember all those wonderful smells, touches, softness, laughter and it helps you to become 'young' again yourself. I thank you for this GIFT!!
You are so right. It is hard to remember from when Leah was little, but you have new touches from your toddler to learn too.
Have you built the touch recorder yet?!! I need to capture this soft, soft head right away. I'm already sad thinking about how quickly it all changes.
