First moments

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

Why this question

The light at the window, what was blooming or freezing, the pram walks. The sensory weather of that first year.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
  • ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
  • ·Record it on an ordinary day — the background noise of your kitchen is part of the keepsake.

“Who did they look like, then?”

“What surprised you most about becoming a parent — in that very first phase?”

“When did you first have to be braver than you felt?”

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.
