0:00 Do you remember calling doubles when your friends took a picture? I called doubles. I got doubles because there was a finite number of pictures that were developed. You were with your friends at an event. Someone took a picture and you really wanted that moment to remember. You didn't have a digital endless stream. There's something to this that I think we need to bring back with our kids. Think about how unspecial pictures have become. You probably, like me, have a million on your phone. You never look at them. And so there's never one moment that really feels worthy of remembering and encapsulating. Do something different today. Tell your kids, "Let's take one picture this week at a moment you tell me is really special." It doesn't even have to be something I know is special. It could be when we're having dinner together or walking, but something feels good and you want to remember it in a different way. And then I'm going to actually print it out for you. This really helps kids develop memories and actually helps them start noticing what's more special and what matters more than something else. Maybe there's something to going back to the day where we called doubles, where we really recognize some moment rises above the rest. I think I'm going to bring that back with my kids. Let me know if you were.
