First moments · ages 0-2

What were the very first things you noticed about them?

Why this question

Their smell, their sounds, the way they moved. The details that made them uniquely them from the very start.

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.
