REMEMBERING THE CUTE THINGS YOUR KIDS SAY!

We always tell ourselves that when our kids say something so funny or cute that we will never forget that...but often we do. I heard a speaker at MOPS this morning that talked about this and it reminded me of the importance of writing these things down. I am glad I heard this tip when my son was only 1 year old and he only just began speaking. I bought a small spiral index card size notebook. I keep it in my little office where I work daily. In it I write down quick little things they say or funny things they do or a milestone. Some are just a word or two-- like I would write "guk" = milk that reminds me that our son called milk guk. It doesn't even need to be a sentence. If a funny situation happens I may just quick write down the story but no more than a paragraph. I keep one of these for each kid and I keep them all in the same place. A few months ago our son told us that when he grows up he wants to be a pastor and a superhero. That was written down in a hurry. So when he grows up and he becomes a pastor and a superhero remember you heard it here first!
