Taking Notes

Start your page and take notes before you forget!

As I watch my little 14 month old baby grow before my eyes, and see all his cute little things that make him "Tyler", I remember thinking that I would never forget these cute moments when my first son went through them.  Now, I am hard pressed to remember the special things that made him "Baby Ryan".  I kick myself that I didn't take a minute to jot down his favourite saying, or his favourite pastime.  Now, I wish that I had, so that I could scrap it and remember it forever. 

I have friends who keep little booklets where they jot down quotes from their kids when they say them, and keep them forever - when they have time to scrap a page, then they just flip through their book to find a perfect thing to remember.  I have other friends who are more ambitious, and they actually scrap the bones of the page when the event happens, and embellish it later when they have time.  And of course, I have the friends who border on super-human powers, and actually scrap the event the day after it happens!  Wow. 

Whatever way works for you, find a way to remember those moments, whether it be with your kids, your husband, your partner, or your friends.  You won't be sorry!!
