I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what keepsakes that I would like to leave the kids. I’ve been pouring through their digital photographs that they have from birth to now and decided to do a photo book for each kid. I had my hard disk crash on me once and am paranoid that the pictures which I took would be wiped off if there is any more crashes or virus attacks. I already have a photo album for each kid to paste in their 1st photographs and ultrascan pictures inside. However as they grew up I haven’t been printing out many of their pictures for viewing.
Besides their photo album the kids also have a notebook documenting their various milestones. I’m been wondering if there are any other items I should keep on their behalf which would not clutter up the place. We are staying in an apartment and space is limited. Every little keepsake that I collect will have to be multiplied by three so that it’s fair for each kid to have the same momentos.
It has been a real tiring weekend. The boys were constantly at each other’s throats. It’s giving me a splitting headache. I really hate to have to play referee and stop the squabbling between them. They say it can get very quiet and lonely with one kid.
Throw in nanother two into the equation and you have a wonky surround system filled with constant yelling, shouting, screaming bursting the indoor decible allowance .
I’m tired of having to tell Monkey boy an Doggy Boy to leave each other alone and stop picking on each other.
” Mummy he’s making funny faces at me ! ”
” Give me!!” followed by wailing , thing being thown at one another etc etc.
The worst thing is that when the boys get at each other it makes Tiger girl want to jump in and shout and scream also.
Faint!!
For once I am wishing that the kids come with these buttons
Mute
Play nicely
Stop squabbling
Take turns
Or if there is on that says ” rapid depletion of energy level ” it will do too.
