Keep A Journal!
It’s been a little while since I shared a story about my daugher, Grace. She’s definitely in the stage of playing dress up with anything that’ s not nailed down. She will be turning three in mid-February. The other day she had a kitchen towel on her head and she was pretending to be Mary, Jesus’ mother! I was so proud!
Another cute story….Grace was trying on a pair of my shoes as I was getting ready to go to a meeting. After Grace successfully navigated walking over to me in my cumbersome size 9 shoes, she looked up at me and said, “When my feet grow up, I can wear your shoes to a meeting!”
O.K…I can hear the collective “awwwws” as you read this, but I wanted to use this as an opportunity to encourage you to keep a journal of the cute or funny things your child says! As soon as Grace says something that strikes me, I write it down. I didn’t do this at first. I thought I would remember it because it was so funny or so endearing. However, I couldn’t always recall it!
I would start journaling at birth! Keep a journal of your baby’s first laugh, smile, coo, gurgle, babble, first word, etc..you get the idea! Just write it down. I promise you, you won’t regret it. You will regret it if you don’t write it down.
So, get journaling and get baby talking!
