Today You : Anna : 02.24.10

IMG_8272

MORNING STORY : Today you woke up at 6am ready to tackle the day. You don’t want to miss out on anything, including the chance to change your clothes when Simon puts his on for school. He’s teaching you the ropes - eating breakfast (”toast, please”), brushing teeth & hair, etc. And then you help him wait for the bus. Today you did it in just a diaper and your monkey hat. Awesome.

MID-DAY STORY :
Today you had a super busy morning going to the library and running errands with Katie. You had a pretty good nap before you ventured out and returned home all sacked out in your car seat. Love the bow. Love the shades. Love the yellow shoes. I also love how you always tuck your hands under your legs when you fall asleep in the seat. Love you.

LATE AFTERNOON STORY : Today you hung out in my office in the late afternoon and checked out my newest supplies. You had a snack of Cheddar Bunnies and water (you love drinking water) and your best friend Lily made sure you didn’t drop any of your snack. As you might also notice you are in outfit number three (at least) for the day. Those orange socks are so cool. Love you sweet baby girl.

Today You overlay can be found here.

    ali, i love how you tell your stories. such great snippets of your daily life. you're certainly keeping true to your word, 'story'. well done.
    but what i really love is how you manage to avoid a mess in your home with two young children. every photo i take these days (with a 6 and 3 year old) has some sort of clutter in the background.. pillows on floor, toys scattered, etc... incredible girl. lol

    I needed a reminder today to document my boys' everyday moments. It's been a while since I did that. It was getting to where I had been taking too many photos of the boys so I cut back (after browsing their baby albums and realizing I could have told the story with half as many pages and photos!) but now I need to get back into it again.

    What a fabulous day of story...sitting on her hands, just one of those things that could have been missed, if scrapping/journaling didn't exist in the world...Oops, never say that, bad....LOL!

    Hi Ali-- I'd love to know how you keep these pages in your scrapbooks?? Is it a separate album or do you just put them in Anna's book??
