Jacob will send me texts. Kaylee sends me the sweetest emails. Nathan is not about to write a note, but will talk nonstop any chance he gets. As soon as he gets in the van to go to a practice he is talking the entire time about every detail of the day. Each of my kids are different in how they communicate.
When I saw this idea HERE on Mama Jenn’s blog, I knew that it was totally Rebecca’s form of communication. The girl is ALWAYS writing in her journal. She also loves to write stories. SOOO I knew this would be a hit with her and it has been. This is the journal we made and SHARE with each other.
Rebecca will date a page and write a note about absolutely anything, and then leave the journal on my pillow. I then can answer her and leave it on her pillow. Sometimes weeks may go by without writing, but something will trigger a thought and the journal comes out. Last Saturday Rebecca had a great game, and I couldn’t resist commenting on parts of the game that stood out to me. Well, then she wanted me to recount a game when I was a little girl and why I remembered it.
Quotes are shared, date nights are planned, and sweet feelings are penned. The book is already a treasure!
