My eldest son Ben turned 6 on Wednesday. I think that nothing illustrates the passing of time better than your own children's birthdays and milestones.
It is the first birthday that I haven't been able to 'officially' update his progress in his copy of A Book About Me. Being the co-owner of the business does have its privileges, and I have appropriated a spare packet of blank sheets, and just made some notes and pasted some photos. At this rate, Ben's baby book should continue until sometime after he has his own child! Milestone Press do have sell extra sheets of blank paper, that just has the stripes across the top. It is $6 for a packet of 10 including postage in Australia. Just email us at sales@milestonepress.com.au and we can help you out.
Ben's baby book started as a Winnie the Pooh version that Annabel gave him when he was born. I think I managed to write when he got his first tooth but I kind of got side tracked after that....I would be at mother's group and be asked if Ben had his two year old molars yet. No idea. After much wiggling, Ben lost his first tooth a few weeks back - I did manage to jot that down, but I think losing teeth will lose some excitement from a parental perspective. When Annabel and I designed the layout for A Book About Me, I ensured that Teeth could be an 'optional' page for slackers like me, or standard for those parents more aware of their children's dental progress.
Better go, and get a start on Ben's 6 shaped cake that he agonisingly selected from the Women's Weekly cookbook.... another special family tradition! Fiona
