First moments · ages 0-2

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

Why this question

Grandparents, siblings, friends. The reactions that surprised you. The ones you'll never forget.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
  • ·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.
