Mother’s Diary or What to Present the Baby with?

A baby arrived in the family… He has not turned 1 yet but you are already thinking what he will be in 5, 10, 15…

Would you like to know right now what to present your little one with for his future full age (which seems so far now) ? The most touching and unforgettable present for the grown-up “baby” is your book with the recollections about him during his first (second, third…) year of life.

No, I do not encourage you to buy a thick notebook and writ? down something in it daily (especially during the first months of your baby’s life ).

If you’ve got a little one and you are reading this article now, it means, most probably, YOU ALREADY HAVE SUCH A BOOK!

Look into your mail box – you will surely find tons of letters there (addressed to your friends, relatives, acquaintances), your growing little one being the main topic of them. What is left is only to save all these letters in one document (or file) on the computer. It is alsouseful to  make a backup copy from time to time. The result: your book is 99 per cent ready.

When time comes, collect all the e-mails/notes into one whole and add some pictures. Now you can print it out and bind. You can also leave it in an electronic format making a media-book from all the pictures, video and text. Voila! The most touching and unforgettable present for your grown up but always little for you nestling is ready

The greatest difficulty is to wait till full age But you can give it earlier

PS This idea was born when Anastasia and I were sending e-mails to each other very actively. Now we are not only exchanging important information and positive emotions concerning motherhood but also writing own books about/for our children day after day

Next time Anastasia will tell you about her way of making a diary about/for her baby.
