For loving parents, even the smallest moments of a child's life become valuable. A special diary will help to save information about childhood, in which you can record information about the growth and development of the child.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a notebook to use as a diary. You can buy ready-made models in bookstores and stationery stores, but you can make a diary yourself from a diary or an album. The main thing is that the format of the notebook is convenient for notes and that you can paste or insert photos there. You can arrange it yourself by sticking a photo of a child or another picture pleasant for you on the cover. If you wish, you can also make an electronic version of the diary.
Step 2
Date each of your entries. Subsequently, it will be easier for you to relate the information to the specific age of the child.
Step 3
Start recording at the point you want. This can be the birth of a child, the onset of pregnancy, or even the moment when you started planning for the birth of a son or daughter. As illustrations, you can choose not only photos of your family, but also beautiful pictures from magazines. If you know how to draw, use this when decorating.
Step 4
Write down not only dry numbers about the change in the height and weight of the child, but also various amusing cases and situations. You can also touch on your experiences. But do not forget that the children's album is not your personal diary. Subsequently, outsiders and the child himself will be able to read it in an older age.
Step 5
If you're inviting guests to your child's first birthday, give them a page in your diary to write their wishes. The child, of course, will not remember the holiday itself, but it will be interesting for him and you later to read the records of relatives and friends.
Step 6
Give the child's father the opportunity to participate in the diary if he wants to. In such a situation, you will get a look at the child from the point of view of both parents.
Step 7
When the child begins to speak, write down his first phrases and just interesting conclusions. Subsequently, it will be interesting for you to remember this.
