#29 is such a fresh take. The phone has earned the reputation of being a distraction, but I love that you reframed it for a positive purpose and then added the catalyst of putting it away to live the moment.

(One of the dilemmas is when your kid is in a performance: do you film and not get the full experience in the moment? Or maybe you switch up with the spouse and take turns recording? (Pro tip: don't answer a call in the middle of recording, it will stop recording the video 😂)

That's a tough question. Probably depends on a lot of factors and what your kid wants!

I am someone who loves to have the photo/short video to help jog my memory later.
