When You Were Born

Looking through her baby scrapbook can help your child learn how special she is.

When You Were Born


Materials

  • Baby scrapbook and/or keepsakes

Directions

  1. On a quiet afternoon or evening, cuddle up with your child to look at her baby scrapbook together. If you haven't made a scrapbook, look through keepsakes like her hospital identification bracelet, her baby booties, and maybe even a prenatal ultrasound image.
  2. Talk about the day your child was born, the day she came home from the hospital, how and why you chose her name, and so on.
  3. You'll probably enjoy telling these tales as much as your child will enjoy hearing them.
