We're used to it. But circa-12-year-olds have always been acutely embarrassed by stories of themselves as toddlers, and I don't see that stopping. By the time they're in their 20s, they'll just crack a wry smile, and once they have kids of their own they'll call up (or whatever people will be doing then) their mother and say, "Now I understand."
