As a person who kept a journal since the first grade (though I have to admit that i didn't write every single day, but pretty much anything significant are well recorded in my journals), this baby journal just blows my mind. Once when my mom was organizing some old stuff in her room, I noticed an old notebook with my name on it. It wasn't mine. As I was about to take a peak inside, my mom abruptly took the book away from my hands and said, 'when you get married, I will give it to you, until then, hands off!'. wow. I had no idea. My mom kept a journal of me since I was born. It would've been a bigger surprise if I hadn't known such journal existed but still, I am very curious what she had written about me growing up. I guess I will find out in few years ;-P
