Precious and Priceless

I really want to install hidden cameras in my house.

Tonight they would have captured a 45 second session of face mimicking between Addison and I during our nightly teeth brushing routine. She likes it when I copy her silly faces and it's even more exciting when there's a mirror. She has to look from the mirror to me and back just to make sure that I'm the one making that face she sees in the reflection.

Other days those cameras would help me find all those hidden sippy cups. Addison is a master magician when it comes to a disappearing cup. It's the reappearing part that is never quite so pleasant with it's fermenting juice or clabbored milk.

I'd need night vision cameras in the nursery...with high quality audio.

That way you could hear my baby humming in a small, sleepy, squeaky voice as I sing along with her bedtime CD while we rock.

If there were hidden cameras, you could witness my tiny thief as she snatches a newly folded towel from the finished laundry and scampers to the other side of the bed with a huge grin on her face. She thinks it's very funny. And it is.

It's too bad that everyone can't see these moments. They are precious and priceless.
