My class at NYC Scraps just
started today. It’s still not too late to sign
up. There’s a special deal where you get $5 off if you refer a
friend. Hope to see you there!

Journaling Reads:
Your grandparents all live quite far away so each time they visit it’s
such a treat for all of us, but especially for you. When your Daddy’s
Mommy comes, she makes sure to spoil you and make you laugh a lot so I
love the fact that I was able to capture these few photos of how much
fun you two have.

Journaling Reads:
This is the face you make when you really want something. I know Daddy’s
pretty good at resisting it but I’m really not. All it takes is for you
to look at me with those beautiful blue eyes and my heart melts
completely. Unfortunately for me, you totally know this and take
advantage of it as often as you can. Little boy, you should milk it as
much as you can, it may not last a lot longer.

This is about all the non-smiling faces David makes that I want to
preserve.

Journaling Reads:
A few weeks ago Daddy bought you this little robot to put together but
he didn’t want to open it until a special occasion presented itself. So
when our friend Adam moved into the city and we wanted to visit, we told
you we’d build robots in Adam’s new house. But then I got sick and we
couldn’t go for weeks. When the time finally came, you were so excited
that I made sure you had two robots. You wouldn’t stop talking about the
robots all the way up to San Francisco and the few hours we spent at
Adam’s were some of your favorite moments of the weekend.

This one is about Jake’s brother’s visit from months ago.

Journaling Reads:
We bought this guitar a few years ago. At the time, you played with it
for a bit but, as always, you grew tired of it. I’ve learned that the
trick is to put each toy away for a while and then to take it out as if
it’s a new toy. Then you get to enjoy it all over again. Each time you
get the toy, you discover some new way to play with it. My rockstar!

Journaling is about how David’s growing up and this is when we were
shopping for his big-boy bed.

Journaling Reads:
There are many things I am good at as a Mom but singing you songs is not
one of them. I always say that I didn’t grow up here so I don’t know
many children’s nursery rhymes, but the fact is I am too shy. I don’t
like my voice and I don’t like to sing, even just to you. But I am
really lucky that your teachers don’t feel the same way. They’ve taught
you many songs and, even better, you come home and sing them to me. On
this particular day, you decided to teach me this new song but you only
knew bits and pieces of it. After I heard a few of the words, I looked
it up on YouTube and, sure enough, you were telling it correctly. The
story of five little monkeys who were teasing the alligator and how he
snapped all of them one by one. Thanks to you, I’ve learned a little
story and maybe when the next little one comes, you can teach it to your
sibling, too.
I have finally started catching up on Cathy’s Design Your Life class. So
last night I did ten layouts in one night. They are simple but I love
them. Here comes all of them.
Journaling Reads:
Even with a completely busted lip, you always have the best sense of
humor. You smile, you laugh, you don’t let any of it get to you. When
you fell at school, I was really worried, but I didn’t want to show it.
I’m your Mommy and I’m supposed to be strong for both of us. But, the
fact is, you didn’t need it at all. You’re plenty strong for both of us.
Although it’s hard for me to look at these, I thought it was important
for me to preserve this. You’re a little boy and, most likely, you’ll
have many scraped knees and busted lips in your future and if (or
‘when’) those occur, I’ll be able to look and remember your strong spirit.
Apologies for the delay, it took me a while to get all the names down.
My little boy didn’t cooperate so I asked my office-mate to pick the
winner. Apologies for the blurry photo, it’s really overcast here today.
Congrats Georgia, please email me so I can get your details for the class.
Our class starts next week today! If you’re interested, you can sign
up here. I look forward to seeing you there!
