“When did they first sleep through the night?”

Why this question

How long it took. What the first full night felt like. Whether you woke up anyway to check.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Don't script it. The ums, the tangents, the half-finished sentences — that's what their voice actually sounds like right now.
  • ·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.

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.
