I've started a journal (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

Not like in a Sam Champion way. I actually started writing a journal to my daughter. I figure one day, either when she graduates or when I die (whichever comes first), she can sit down and read it.

I've only written in it for a couple of weeks now, but I'm actually really glad I'm doing it. I want her to know why I made every decision and what I did to make sure that she had the best childhood she could possibly have.

Anyone else ever do something like this? I think it'll be a pretty cool gift to give her on her graduation day.

She has no idea I'm doing it, so it will be a complete surprise.

Keep at it. I am sure she will love it when she gets older.

Edit. I am serious. This is coming from a woman that has had no relationship with her father since I was maybe 12. I have only seem him maybe 10 times since I moved out when I was 22

Very cool idea. She will love it when she gets older.

Awesome idea... but I am way to lazy to pull something like that off.

I am doing the "Oh the places you'll go!" thing with her teachers and am already worried about what I will do when she is in middle school and has more than one teacher. It seems like it will be a lot of work

I'm not familiar with this.

Giving her teacher the Dr. Seuss book to sign at the end of each year... started it when she was in kindergarten last year. I also plan to pick her up with a rose on the last day of school each year, with the hope being that if she does not hate me by then, I will pick her on her last day of high school with 13 roses.
