Photo album? $4 Prints? $2 Index Cards? $1 Memories .... PRICELESS



My little nephew - a 2yr old - is just learning all his words.  He can get his point across for most things - like TAXI - and there are words that he's still perfecting - like NANAMO.  That's guacamole in case you were wondering  :)  

We just had a fabulous NY cousin visit, and I thought the perfect way to commemorate this trip would be with a memory book with pictures and words David knows. We all know 2yr olds like repetition. Did you know that? They like to repeat things. 2yr olds like to say things again and again. They like to say things they know. Often. Then they say them again. And again. Hahahhahahhaha ....

This is a simple photo album with slots for 4x6 pictures that I bought at Target.  I didn't exactly have 72 "money" shots from our trip, so I decided to go with 36 pics (from my printer) and 36 captions (printed on to index cards).  This is so much fun! I decided to make the book progressively harder, so the first few pages have easy one word answers like "PAJAMAS" and the later pages have more challenging answers like "HIDING UNDER A BENCH".  I hope he has fun with it.  My sister-in-law will probably have lots of fun reading it with David. And then reading it again. And re-reading it. And practicing .....
