Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
My Hopes & Dreams & Yearly Snapshots
 
A journal to filled in each birthday until your child is 12. Answer questions, add photos and drawings and handprints each year. 
 

Life goes past in the blink of an eye. Precious moments come and go. Memories are made, and then fade. This book is a treasure trove of moments written down, and deepest thoughts expressed.
It is a journal of a child growing, changing and maturing.

When your child is young, you will have to ask them the questions, and write down their answers for them. You may even continue to do that for them all the way through the years if you like. But it’s interesting watching their handwriting change.
 
You can ask your child all of the questions at the one time, or spread the questions out
over days or so, depending on the mood or attitude of your child ~ you’ll know what I mean.
 
Things that your child should do for themselves in the book of memories:
• write their own name in the box provided - even if it is a scribble when they are young!
• create a drawing for the book , in the box provided - or draw it on paper, fold it and glue it into the box.
• add photos, artwork, doodles & drawings, letters, pressed flowers, stickers, inspirations etc
Please don’t guide your child’s answers. Let your child be honest, and raw. They are unique. There is nobody exactly like them on the earth! And you’ll look back at the answers filled with love.
 
“ You will never have this day with your child again.
Tomorrow they’ll be a little older than they we’re today.
This day is a gift. Breathe and notice.
Smell and touch them; study their faces
and little feet and pay attention.
RELISH THE CHARMS of THE PRESENT.
Enjoy today. It will be over before you know it.”
