Documenting The Kids
Tags:
[ sentiment strip available at Designer Digitals ]
Simon @ 7 years
- worked super hard for over three weeks to have three days "in green" for a reward trip to Target to get some legos (staying in green means following directions, no pushing, no arguing about who is first in line, accepting, etc)
- playing with the neighbor kids outside almost everyday after school: riding bikes, playing chase
- doing single number addition worksheets super-fast (and correctly)
- ate green peppers & broccoli
- working on accepting not being first in line after recess everyday + found a solution by holding hands (and sharing first) with the little girl you compete with the most
- lost your first tooth (you pulled it out all on your own)
Anna @ 3 months
- smiling a ton, especially when Simon comes into view
- liking very much to be held rather than in any other spot
- rolled over from stomach to back
- working on getting into a routine
- moved from the bassinet next to our bed to the crib in your own room
- had your first adventure to the 92 degree swimming pool (you loved it)
- started hanging out with a very special babysitter twice a week

i love this! such a great way to document their lives - will you be turning this into a scrapbook page?
i think this would be a great thing to steal to document any day, by the way. i don't have kids yet, but i could easily adapt this to my newlywed life - moments that i want to remember, simple picture with words on top, and a few notes. toss it all into a page, and done!

What a great way to help them and you remember these special times. I make notes on the cute, smart and funny things the Peanut says on our calendar. and Take a bazillion photographs every week. We live far from relatives so being able to share images make us feel less alone. I love that Anna lights up upon seeing her brother.

Wow, the time is flying! Anna was just born and she's already rolling over? Man, that went fast. One of the greatest reasons for documenting as we do is how time flys. Kudos to Simon for doing so good! Good Job boy!

Staying green is a great thing!! Congratulations Simon!! I am a teacher and a mother who celebrates every green day at school and at home! It is the small triumphs that will some day add up to positive life skills! And I always try to keep in mind that I have yellow and red days too!
