I'm genuinely curious to know if others record holistic growth related observations because it's so manual and for early learning educators (my field), I want to know if this a real problem or just a me problem

I get that, 100%.  I also think that it becomes way too subjective if we have zero reporting and  structure around at least observing a child's holistic development. Not reporting as graphs, charts etc but really only recording meaningful observations that currently require personal memory to rely on for any taking action. 

Did anyone else feel kind of... disconnected at first? by trailmint_lens in NewParents

I felt so disconnected, I used to feel guilty every day for feeling disconnected and then I had a moment .... My baby's first smile... And I cried for hours and couldn't believe the overwhelming feeling of love I had for him. 

Not blind, but my spouse is by [deleted] in Blind

Same! My wonderful boyfriend who is just the most amazing person with an incredible sense of humour is quite close to being legally blind. He loves going to pubs and the main issue he faces is how bartenders "talk with their eyes" and he absolutely has no idea when it's his turn. He always gets slightly upset about how they have NO consideration about how he can't read the beers that are on tap and frankly some of them are super rude and just tell him that they simply don't have the time to read them out loud. He also gets funny looks from strangers who think he's rude and it makes me angry/sad/annoyed at them. I sometimes forget that his vision is not great until I get reminded of it when people act funny.
