My family and I were recently enjoying some old videos from our early days, back when our children were toddling around and their parents were still figuring out what on earth they were doing. (Update: They’re still trying to figure that out.)
What struck me as we watched was how much I missed of the moments that were caught on-screen—my daughter’s face as she was surprised by something, my son’s attempts to get our attention about something else, their expressions, and what they were focused on.
