Why Mommy Shouldn’t Hold the Videocamera

Today we had Alice’s First Birthday Party. As Alice was coating herself in frosting and Jerry was preparing to take her downstairs to squeegee it all off, I was handed the brand new videocamera.

I kept forgetting to look at the little action window and see what the camera was pointed at, because I’d get so caught up in what was going on in front of the camera. Mommy is apparently used to a STILL camera, thanks.

So, Girls, I apologize. The videos from your childhoods that have your father in them will occasionally have heads cut off and a zoom of the bare walls. I’ll try to pay more attention in the future.
