Notebook for son's keepsake?

Question

I have a 3 month old little boy and i was reading in a parents magazine & got the idea to create a notebook for him about me [his mommy], his daddy, both of our families, us as a couple, our siblings. I can't think of anything else to add in there. Any help?

I was also going to put like a growth chart and important dates like when he first smiled and stuff like that. I'm out of ideas now...ideas would be very helpful. thanks!!

Answer 1

That and just the basic things like pictures would be nice, all his holidays and birthdays, Just a little mini scrap book that he can continue.

Answer 2

I started one for my son before he was born. I wrote down my thoughts about being pregnant, then being a new mommy.

I kept a calendar handy to write down days when he had all his first, then entered them in the notebook.



With each birthday I wrote a letter to my son and that went in the notebook.

I kept a journal and wrote in it at least once a week of all the things he did, where we went as a family, visits with grandparents, any events of the week.  I especially made sure to write about the cute funny sayings once he started talking.  

I ended up doing this for all of my children and still have it even tho they are grown.  It is a real treasure and they like to read thru it.

Answer 3

First day of school

Loosing first tooth.

first vacation.

First christmas {or channukah}

Oh thats wonderful !

I think you should try getting those water based finger print oils, and keep track of the growth of his hands and feet ! We did this with my younger brother who is now three years old, it's truely amazing. All the best wishes. -shawnz <3
