Living in the present

I'm reading a book that says it's good to be "in the present" when parenting. It seems that I'm pretty good at that, since I have much more trouble now keeping track of appointments than I used to. Instead of organizational skills, I have been working on the following skills:

• building train tracks
• finding library books with just the right amount of actions and not too many words
• changing poopy diapers without getting poop on myself, the baby, or our clothes
• teaching Liam to say "thank you" after I change his diaper
• teaching Liam to make a fish face
• moving around the kitchen without tripping over blocks or stories
• keeping things far enough from the edge of the counters
• mousing with my left hand while nursing
• getting Liam into bed without waking him up]
• anticipating head bonks and deflecting them
• interpreting Liam's new words
