May 13: Why I Do This

"That's why I take so many pictures and keep old art projects and pull the video camera off the top of the fridge...I was here. Every day." Helping you sound out words for the daily menu you insist on making, listening to you practice your multiplication flash cards, teaching you to eat the cookie dough and lick the brownie batter, showing you how to hold your mouth to blow bubbles or whistle or make a silly face.

"This is my graffiti. This is me spray painting on every wall and etching in every headboard: I WAS HERE."

(quote by Kelly Corrigan, author of "The Middle Place," examples changed for my boys)
