Capturing Your Kids With Pictures
Here is another article from Life…Your Way blog on photo organizing. This hits home with me since I have two kids of my own and I have been creating scrapbooks for them since they were born. My youngest one, in particular, loves to sit down and flip through the pages of a scrapbook and ask questions about that time in his life. A tradition that I have started (since there is so much blood, sweat and tears put into each and every album) during the holiday season is to set the scrapbook out from the year on the coffee table. I pick a particular evening before Christmas and we go through the album as a family. It is a great year in review and brings up a lot of memories. Take what you can from this article with the time that you have and do your best…
We all take photos of our kids, and show them off to friends and family. However, when was the last time you stopped to consider what photos your child wants or needs to see?
Pictures tell your kid’s stories.
Our boys have lifebooks that we pull out and enjoy as a family two or three times a year. These books have the stories and photos of their adoptions. The books offer an opportunity for discussion, normalize adoption language, and reinforce our family values.
Even now that our boys are getting older and don’t always want to snuggle in our laps, it still gives us time to be a family and remember those special things that make our family unique.
Happy Photo Organizing! Bridges
