I keep a journal for each of the kids. I started with each of their birth stories and then wrote to them every three months their first year of life. After their first year, I wrote them every year on their birthday (or as close to it as this busy momma could handle). I also try to add some of the funny things they say. Here are some entries that have been included in the last few months...
-Addison couldn't see in the dark when I put her to bed so she shouted to me, "I just gotta let my eyes get dressed mom." (I always tell her to let her eyes ADJUST).
-Luke came down the stairs after getting in trouble previously in the day and sat down beside me very seriously. "Mom, me and dad were discussing my punishment for being sassy to you and I told him a month without playstation...but I've been thinking that is WAY too long. I think I should have said a week."
-Luke started guitar lessons not long ago and after his first lesson with his young 20 something teacher, I asked him how the lesson went...he said excitedly, "Mom, you know how my guitar made that rattling sound?" "Uh, huh." "Mr. Aaron shook the guitar and it was an old, dried up piece of cheese."
- As I was closing Addison's door saying goodnight to her, I said, "I love you Addi." I was making my way down the stairs and I heard her little voice yell, "I love frosting cheerios."
-We were taking the dogs for a walk looking at empty lots near our house and noting the price. Amelia said, "Geez, at least our lot came with a house."
-Addison often can be heard yelling to Amelia and Luke, "Don't ERUPT me."
Addison yelled to me, "Mom, come see what I spelled!"
M-O-M for those of you who can't read domino.
