Choose a designated ‘Baby Book Writer’ or you WILL regret
it! Here’s a true
confession……………Twenty six years ago (when my first child, Natasha, was born) I
wrote and wrote and WROTE in her baby book – Burps and tummy time and nursing
and rashes and more!
A mere 19 months later, when Juliette was born, I wrote
about half as much even though she
was just as adorable and exciting! Four years later, when Chloe was
born, I wrote about four things
TOTAL in her book! Yep, that’s the sad truth. <hanging
my head in shame>
So, when Maeve was born (seven years after Chloe), Juliette
volunteered to be our families ‘designated baby book writer’. Okay, what does that mean? She was in
charge of writing down as many
moments/words/phrases/activities/events/milestones as she could remember (and
thankfully she has a SUPERB memory)!
Anyway, her writing in those FIVE books has been her gift to
me for MANY MANY Christmases,
Birthdays, Mother’s Days and more!
I’m not making that up! It
has been a true GIFT that she’s written in those darn baby books. It’s been priceless.
So, as a shout out to Juliette………………..THANK YOU!
As for you, I encourage you to write as often as you are
able because as much as you think
you’ll remember the cute little diddies you will not. Trust me.
