My daughter calls it "Modern Genealogy" when she captures things her family is doing. My favorite is her "Heard Around the House" which she captures comments the kids make. Imagine if we could go back in time to hear what we or our parents said when we were 5 and 8 years old. What goes on in this little guy's mind is priceless. A sample follows:
Heard Around The House
We are driving in the car and he says, "I wish I still had my tonsils."
Mom, "Why? You aren't getting sick anymore buddy."
Ben, "Because I want them back. Katie still has hers. Why does she still have hers?"
Katie, "My tonsils weren't to big. Your tonsils were to big so they had to be taken out."
Ben, "I want mine back!"
Katie, "Well, your not in charge. God has the plan for you and you needed your tonsils out."

How wonderful to capture and log those great things kids say! I try to write down in a journel what our grandkids come up with, they are just precious and worth keeping and remembering. How does your daughter keep hers? Thank you for sharing this, it reminds me to keep track and have it for thier children!
Gini,My daughter is a scrapbooker,so she will do a "select all" on the blog then copies to a word doc. She then later prints out some to put into the scrapbook.
