Babies and Forgetting!

I don't know about you, but I forget A LOT! I call it my baby brain. I can't remember anything that goes on, went on, and....you get the picture. So, I want to actually remember what my kids have done, what they said, or let them know what I feel about them.
 This idea came from my mom, I love you mom. She kept a journal and wrote in it for me, when I was young. I decided that is what I wanted to do for my kids. I started a journal for each of my babies when I was pregnant with them. I wrote down what I felt, what I was doing, what was hurting me, if I had problems with the doctor, etc. Now I write all the silly things they do. I am so glad I did too! I totally forgot that my oldest had asked me why we go to church? I wrote down the whole conversation.

Here is what I wrote:
Son: Where are we going?
Mom: To church!
Son: Why are we going to church?
Mom: To learn about Jesus!
Son: Why do we learn about Jesus?
Mom: Because he did some very special things for us.
Son: Why did Jesus do that?

You get the picture. This was a special moment that I just forgot about. BUT!!! I remember them now because I recorded them in a book for my boy to remember. I love these books. My kids love their books. They ask me all the time about their books. They ask if I am writing in their book and to read from their book.
 You can totally go crazy with this idea. I had a friend that put pictures in her journal and taped them in and then journal about the pictures. Which would be perfect for my kids journals, then I could actually develop pictures and share the funny things they did or what we were doing.
 I also added an envelope for their journals to put their notes or picture they draw in it.

Do you have anything similar to this? Share! I would love to hear.
