When I became a grandma, somehow everything changed for me. I was
totally smitten with my grandchildren, and everything they did seemed wondrous
and special.
To capture these feelings (which I'm sure may fade a little as they become
teenagers), I put together a small 5x7 album to document their special qualities
throughout the years.
In the album, I placed a picture of the child at each year on the left page
of the album. On the facing page, I wrote a paragraph or two of some of
the special things that may have happened during the year, or some of my special
feelings. Children love to hear about all the special and funny things
that they've done or said throughout the years. It's a wonderful
self-esteem builder, and the grandkids love to look through their albums and
relive the stories.
Make an album for that special person in your life!
