did you reserve an email address for your LO

we did but mainly b/c of those "dear sophie" google commercials. my husband wanted to do that for her so he created her a gmail address & we send her emails, videos etc. our children are lucky that we can capture everything for them on film/video etc. 

for those who may not know what i'm talking about, this is the commercial

Re: did you reserve an email address for your LO

  • yes, we did. and just like anything else, if email gets phased out, we'll either print it or do something else with it so it'll still be active.

    I did this exact same thing for Delali, and was inspired by the same commercial! I was so excited to do it for her but didn't get around to it until she was 4 months old.  The day she turned 4 months, I wrote her her first email and it's been so great because when I'm at work thinking about something cute she did the night before, I can jot her an email.  I write directly to her, trying to make it sound like we're having a conversation.  Like you, I attach pictures and videos of certain events.  It's so cool because I think I would forget most of these little things if I didn't write them down.  I hope she enjoys reading it later Smile  I'm thinking of giving her email to a few of our family members so they can write her an email to preserve a memory.
