I ended up just journaling for my daughter and felt guilty for not doing the same for the boys. This idea is way better. And then I can just duplicate it so each child has one when they grow up.jubileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924715623122612454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-41597844403404624102009-01-15T13:55:00.000-09:002009-01-15T13:55:00.000-09:00M- what a great resource, thanks!M- what a great resource, thanks!Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-87635086898865966682009-01-15T13:33:00.000-09:002009-01-15T13:33:00.000-09:00Love this idea...Our oldest is 6 now and has start...Love this idea...Our oldest is 6 now and has started in our family journal. Up to this point we have recorded their interviews on video and their voices are such a precious treasure!<BR/><BR/>I HAVE to recommend the book "Hold That Thought For Kids" by Dr. Cindy Dormer to your readers. Its over 100 pages of interviews to conduct with your 3-12 year old. It's a great springboard to get away from the traditional questions and is sure to result in hilarious conversations with your kids!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196355548523049683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-34964641788344639392009-01-15T09:43:00.000-09:002009-01-15T09:43:00.000-09:00What a fabulous idea!

Anyway, I think I've pretty much missed that "window of opportunity" as my children are all grown and gone. Although my (poor example of a) blog is a mixture of unrelated topics, one of the reasons I began blogging was to put into writing some of our family stories before they're lost - things about my kids, my own childhood and things my mother might remember. You are so fortunate to have had the foresight AND found the time to document your family's history from an early point! I thoroughly enjoy your blog, by the way.Suzie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01543015925704261898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-64878358742159507412009-01-14T09:22:00.000-09:002009-01-14T09:22:00.000-09:00I do this with my boys.

Then on their birthday each year I trace their hand. Now that my son is starting to write (age 5), I am having him write an occasional sentence. So fun!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913479841360204974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-56800928149429864162009-01-14T06:00:00.000-09:002009-01-14T06:00:00.000-09:00I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea, and I can't wait to st...I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea, and I can't wait to start a family journal. I even have the perfect blank book for the purpose. It's a gorgeous leather-bound journal that I bought in Florence, Italy, when I was pregnant with Son. I had dreams of writing him letters throughout his life in it -- but those first four months were so hard that I couldn't bear to chronicle them, and then I lost the mojo. This will be the perfect use of it!

On New Years Eve we ask our boys reflection questions about the past year and record the answers on our computer (we have a mac with a camera built in). I like this idea though, I think we are going to have to incorporate this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
