Footprints

From the children´s birth on we are taking their footprints every few weeks. The papers are collected in a folder then, laminated, decorated and commented. It´s so cute to see the current growing!

When Max was a newborn or very little it was easy to do. But while growing up it became more and more challenging. Sometimes the prints were really smudged but nevertheless a sweet memory. Sometimes my boy didn´t want to cooperate :-) He was crying and wriggling around. But this was a cute memory too.

But since Max is about one and a half he likes doing the footprints. He likes the colour on his hands and feet, holding on the bench and stepping on the paper with mama´s support. Papa is taking the pics every time and Max loves looking at the in the album. 

Lovely Max... you fill my heart with joy... I love you!

When Lina was one week old we started with the prints as well. The feet were easy to do but handprints are still nearly impossible. Mama is opening the little fingers and putting the hands down. Result is a wonderful scribble. Getting properly ones is not possible until one year.

Now Miss L. starts to waving around with hands and feet and it is such an effort to get the printing. But having the colour in her hands is making her curious. She noticed that the wet colour is making a noise in her fists. Too cute!

I really love this work of art... and I adore my lovely ones!

Appreciation for their patience!
