Blogging from the Babe's Mouth

My 6 year old loves to talk.  When she learned about blogging from Brainpop (more about that later), she wanted to "start a blog".  I brushed her aside initially but after she persisted, I set up a blog for her.  She dictated and I typed.  As the blog started building, I realized that this is such a nice way to capture memories of her life.  I wonder what she will think of this 10 years from now.  I am loving it in the meantime.  Here is a link to her blog: http://medhasarkar.blogspot.com   

Preserving Memories

I, for one, is a sentimentalist when it comes to not forgetting wonderful moments in life.  Kids provide so much fodder for good memories.  To preserve them for my and my husband's enjoyment in our old age, and for kids to read when they grow up, I set up email accounts for my kids as soon as they were born.  As and when I feel there is something I want to preserve, I describe it in an email to them.  The anticipation of hearing their reaction to these events is so wonderful.  I highly recommend this!
