Have you ever had a chance to see yourself and how you parented in the past?

DH and I were watching old videos of when DD1 was a baby on the weekend and reminiscing. I noticed straight away how much we have changed from those early days with DD1. She is only 4.5 years old so it didn't occur to me that I had changed/learnt that much. We were watching videos up to when she was about 2 yrs old and I was just so annoying! LOL. I was getting frustrated watching myself. I was constantly interrupting her with 'look at this, come over here, show me that, give me a cuddle, what are you doing, LOOK AT THIS!' when she was clearly really concentrating on what she was doing. I felt bad for the poor thing! Although it did make me feel good that I have obviously changed a lot since then. I still think these are the same things I need to work on now, i.e. not hurrying them so much, letting them go at their own pace, not interrupting them. But now I see I have come a long way already!

Anyway, it was just interesting to see how much I'd changed I thought! Has anyone else had the same experience?
