Toddlers: 24 Months+
Journaling for your LO
For the last couple of years I have scrapbooked photos, tickets, mementos and other things for DD (while pregnant and after). However, when I became pregnant with DS, I became too tired to scrapbook all of the time. Now that he is here, I am simply too busy (and then too tired!) to get back into it right now, although I plan to asap.
I would like to keepa journal for each LO, writing down their milestones, events, funny and memorable things that they do. Does anyone else do this? I don't want to use a baby book,just a journal. Where did you get yours? How did you start?

Re: Journaling for your LO
I bought a journal for each child and I write in them as if they are an ongoing letter to each of them. I plan to give them to them when they each are expecting their first child. It includes their milestones my feelings during pregnancies. Even some personal feelings about relationships and communication. I write about how my relationship with them changes and grows, and I often write about what I imagine our relationship will be like in 20, 30 years... what I think they'll be when they grow up based on current obsessions. DD#1 often talks about wanting to grow up to be an allergist to save children from peanuts or a firefighter to help doctors help kids. I write that stuff down, and lord, on days that she spends screaming at, and arguing with me- it helps to go back and read that stuff!
I just used plain old cheapies picked up on sale at hall mark or something.
