intro

I suppose one day Cady will ask the typical questions kids ask about their early childhood. What was my first word? When did I first learn to walk? Was I good or bad? And I always thought I'd have a ready answer, the date, time, context, a vivid picture; after all, raising Cady is quite the unforgettable experience. But since Cady was born, I've lost my wedding ring, misplaced my keys, forgotten the dry cleaning, left Cady behind at a restaurant (once)... so maybe it's time to blog it all down.

By the way, until I'm all caught up with everything I'm trying to remember, none of this is in real time. It's just a few recollections.
