It's a brilliant thing to do. I bought a video camera when my kids were small and recorded their antics, often choreographed. I put all the best bits on a hard drive and gave it to reach of them when they turned 21.

The vc is gone and now we all use phones. Its not the same. If I take videos and photos now, I delete the crap right away. My oldest's hard drive blew up, so he borrowed one and put the whole lot on YouTube.

Great article. Thanks for the reminder to record more memories.
