Last week, Abby and I bought this book and started our journey of written communication. She takes it very seriously, which I love. It seemed like the perfect time to start the journal, as I can see her teetering on the edge of not being sure if she should talk about things with us or her friends. Face to face conversations will always be my top choice, but giving her the option of writing her words and feelings down so I can read them is a close second. Whether they are spoken or written, her words will always be important to me.
(Also, I don’t work for amazon, or know these authors but if you have daughters I can’t recommend this book enough. And, it’s on sale!)
Blair- you are so nice to say that, but remember that I have promised the kids that I won’t write about anything embarrassing. Which really limits what I can say each day 🙂
You are SUCH a good mother
