My Invention, The Memory Box!

I think I have pretty funny kids.  I mean they really say some funny stuff sometimes like I'm sure most kids do.  But whenever I tell people they say "Are you writing this down?!"  Ummmm, welll.... sometimes.  I try to remember to write it down so I can tell them what they did or said when they get older.  But I really do have a horrible memory!  I could watch a movie and not even know what I saw the next day!  (Not really sure how I got through college but I'm guessing my short term memory must be pretty good.)

Anyway.....  I decided, if we just had a convenient way to log these memories down, it might work!  So after months and different types of glue.  I came up with a memory box.

Oh, and the idea is to keep it out on your counter top where it's convenient, log what your kids do or say and maybe even write down milestones, ie: first haircut - 1 year. When your kids get older you can give it to them or read it to them occasionally as they are growing up to make them smile.

So.... Here's the poem that goes inside the box....

I keep this box of memories of all you do and say.

The precious, cute and funny, I could write something every day.

I can’t remember everything, and there’s so much you’ll want to know.

Everyday’s a blessing, and everyday you’ll grow.

Everyone says “Are you writing this down? They’ll be gone before you know it!”

And now I can say, “Why, yes I am!” Whew,… I didn’t blow it!

The box is yours to keep, just as soon as you are grown.

But my job as a mommy, will never be quite done.
