First moments

“How did they sleep — or not sleep — in those first months?”

Why this question

The night feeds, the dawn shifts, the tricks you swore by. The 3am hours that felt endless then and impossibly far away now.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Thirty seconds is plenty. A short answer you actually record beats a long one you keep meaning to.
  • ·Say the date and their age out loud at the start. In ten years that one detail will do half the work.
  • ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.

“Who were the first people to meet them, and how did those meetings go?”

“What did you worry about most in those very early days?”

“What did the season of their babyhood feel like?”

Want to keep the answer in their voice?

One day you’ll want to hear this answer, not just read it. Ask the question tonight and record what comes back — thirty seconds at the foot of the bed is enough.
