Since before you were conceived I've been keeping a journal for each of you. Here I write everything I feel about you and all the events in our lives. It's just captured it in short, but so awesome to read about things I would have forgotten about. I write all the funny things you do and say and all the sweetness about you. I write down your first 100 words, all your milestones ... 1st step, tooth, word, wave and all the rest. I even allow you to scribble on a few pages.
You each also have a box with all your very special goodies in. Things like you 1st dummy, bottle, blanket, toy. Your positive pregnancy test and the scissors we cut your cord. The clothes you wore the day you were born and outfits you wore a lot. Your 1st pair of shoes and slippers. Stuff from your 1st birthday. And whatever is really special.
Lily you, in particular love and I mean LOVE looking through your box and want me to read from your journal all the times. If your journal were the only book in our house you would be happy. When you go through emotionally unhappy time we just go to a quiet spot and I read to you from you journal and you just absolutely melt and calm down. I think to hear I just adored you as a baby and all the cute things you did, makes you feel so loved and that gives you security and comfort !!
I have to say I get so emotional going through the box, there so many special memories.
My plan is to give you each your journals and box when you're pregnant with your first baby.
