I will continue that.</p> <p>I have really wanted to get a nice leather journal from Etsy and actually write him letters as he grows :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-letters-to-your-little-one-or-keep-a-blogjournal-for-them#post-350742 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:11:06 +0000 Alivoo01 350742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-letters-to-your-little-one-or-keep-a-blogjournal-for-them#post-350732 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:02:49 +0000 Mrsbells 350732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a blog, its not written as a journal to her, but just my experiences so far.

There's basically room just to write a short little blurb about what happened that day- which hopefully will make me stick with it since it seems like a low time commitment. It's kind of cool because you can see the entries for what happened on that day for all 5 years so you can see how much they've grown from year to year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-letters-to-your-little-one-or-keep-a-blogjournal-for-them#post-350655 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:30:23 +0000 Ree723 350655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a journal that I write in each evening, telling LO what we did that day, how she makes me feel, and just any other random thoughts that come into my head. When she hits a milestone, I do a separate entry. It's all colour coded as well - entries are in normal ballpoint pen, but a big milestone has a heading written with pink gel pen, special occasions are written in green gel ink, etc. Ha, kind of sounds like a 12 yr old girl's calendar but it makes it easy to flip through and find important events!</p> <p>My only regret is that I didn't start it until she turned 3 months old, although I do have a detailed baby book that captures a lot of our thoughts and feelings from the early days, so I guess that will suffice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-letters-to-your-little-one-or-keep-a-blogjournal-for-them#post-350638 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:20:29 +0000 MrsTiz 350638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought two books (for the two LO's I plan on having) and i'm going to start writing in them from the first U/S until they graduate or get married. I want to write about their milestones, our first fights, special occasions, etc. Not like a daily thing but just important things </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-letters-to-your-little-one-or-keep-a-blogjournal-for-them#post-350623 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:14:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 350623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish so badly I had written her a letter the night she was born! I started a "journal" to her in word on her one-week birthday. I just kind of write whatever I'm thinking. I did set up an email account for her but haven't sent anything to it yet. I might put what I've written in word into an email instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-letters-to-your-little-one-or-keep-a-blogjournal-for-them#post-350617 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:12:58 +0000 sunny 350617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started writing letters to my LO and I think I'm going to try to write one every month until she's a year old. After that, I'll try to do a yearly one. </p> <p>I'm typing them right now but I think it would be nicer if I hand wrote them. However, my penmanship is terrible and I tend to like to re-organize my thoughts after I type them... not possible when you're writing on paper! </p> <p>Do you write letters to your little one or keep a blog/journal for them to read when they're older? </p>
