Hi, I landed in canada in March 2014 ( I am a US citizen)and am eligible to apply for citizenship. I live close to the US border and drive over for a few hours about once a month. However I didn’t realize we needed to record the dates for day trips. What can I do if anything? Do I have to wait another 5 yrs to apply for citizenship now?

There is an FAQ in the residency calculator covering your case.

Question 8 is literally what you are asking above
Simply do your best job at listing all dates. Attach a letter to your application explaining the situation.
Also google "I94 records" there is a website of the us government where you can access all your border crossings.
If you want quick access to your records, try the following:
https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov
This may be incomplete or inaccurate.
If you want detailed records or more accurate records, try the following FOIA request which may take few days to many weeks to obtain. Make sure you create an account to receive the records. Do not continue as guest:
