I just remind myself about things all the time, and luckily 96 percent of the time, I get it right when it comes time to do whatever it was I was supposed to do.
The boys -- Nathaniel in particular -- are great about reminding me how bad my memory is. We have lots of conversations where I say something like, "Oh, I forgot to empty the dehumidifier when we left today. I'll have to do it tonight when we get home." And Nathaniel will say, "YOU'D BETTER WRITE THAT DOWN." I can't tell you how many times some version of that exchange is uttered in a week's time.
So last Friday night after work:
Grayson: "Hey, you need to come in the kitchen and see Nathaniel's note."
Me: "What note? Did Miss H. send a note home?"
Grayson: "Just come see."
And I walked in there and picked THIS up:
"Log on to milk roks . com."
Nathaniel explained to me that at lunch, he'd noticed a promotional note on his milk carton: Go to www.milkrocks.com and you can register for a free copy of Bakugan for the Wii (a game he really wants). And so that he wouldn't forget to do it, when he got back to his classroom, he grabbed a scrap piece of paper and made a note to himself.
Internet, I believe that is what Oprah Winfrey calls A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT.

Aww! That is so cute!
Too cute! I have to leave messages on our home answering machine all the time. Don't feel alone!
That's awesome. Does he surf the web?
I am impressed. You must be so proud!
Josh has done that before, too. He has post its beside his bed to remind himself of whatever he wants/needs to do in the morning, like finish a book or pick up the basement.
SET, yes, for things he's really interested in. Like registering for free Wii games.
Lisa, I didn't know Josh does that! That's cute.
