Aaron has trouble remembering stuff sometimes... vet appointments, his mom's birthday, to pick up toothpaste...
While I have a little book to keep track of stuff (that is a whole story in of itself), that method just hasn't worked for Aaron. Neither has palm pilots, whiteboards or calendars.
So he came up with a new plan and so far it's working pretty well. He bought a little digital voice recorder, and I can hear him around the house... "BEEP... water the plants... BEEP", "BEEP... buy Father's Day card... BEEP". It goes to show that his memory works better auditorially (is that a word?) than visually.
I do enjoy messing with it when he isn't around... "BEEP... make Jenny a smoothie... BEEP"
lol..how cute of an idea.
ReplyDeleteOooh! PLease do a post on finding a great planner/date book. I desperately need one and am having a hard time finding something just right. It seems they're all designed for High School kids with homework and band practice or multi-tasking businees people :(
ReplyDeletelol I would be tempted to try "beep...buy Jenny something pretty...beep"
ReplyDelete*sorry, I had to remove my intial post because of bad grammar and spelling*
Ha ha - excellent post. Made my wife and I giggle (she reads regularly).
ReplyDeleteAlso, to answer your question: "auditorially (is that a word?)"...
Technically, you could have used the word "aurally". See definition here.
Keep up the excellent entries.
Man, I really need something like that, too! Welcome back, by the way! Hope you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteOh, my husband SO needs this.
ReplyDeleteI have the same voice recorder! Isn't it fabulous? I use it for meetings, lectures, and to make lists for myself.
ReplyDeleteHello, LJC,
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what make is your Sony digital voice recorder--I am interested in buying one.
Thank you!
