Many, many years ago when my children were young and doing cute things I came up with the idea of preserving these memories before they were forgotten. I bought a journal for just this purpose. Whenever my children did something cute, funny, memorable it went into the journal.
On their birthday, every year, we would get the journal out and read all about the birthday person. The kids always looked forward to this and now that they are grown and living around the country I have fun getting it out and reading it myself. What wonderful memories.
And someday when I am gone I am sure my children will stumble upon the journal and take a stroll down memory lane and just perhaps read it to their children.
What a great idea.
