New to Paperclipping? A few things you should know: This is a great place to learn all scrapbooking techniques (I've posted more than 100 video tutorials). Several are free downloads, and I consistently release new tutorials every month. Others are members-only, available when you become a member. Finally, I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed, or the newsletter (the form is in the sidebar) to make sure you get new videos as they're released. Thanks for visiting!
Don’t your kids say and do so many things that you don’t want to ever forget?
I have an easy system that I follow for keeping as many of the stories as I can for future scrapbooking.
I’ll share the system with you over the next day or two.
In the meantime, here is a story that I jotted down as it developed in my mind en route to Walmart. Some day you will see it on one of my layouts for Aiden.

“Hold-You”
I always loved the “Hold-You” phrase. I remember one of my younger siblings saying it to my mom and I always looked forward to its use when I would have my own babies.
Disappointingly it didn’t stick very long with the oldest two. But, Aiden, you really latched onto the phrase and even perfected its use.
As you approached four years old I thought for one day that the “Hold-You” phase was over. You said, “Hold ME!” twice. And I was a little sad.
But then the next day, “Hold-You” was back and in the last couple of weeks it has improved.
Yesterday you said, “Mommy, can we hold-you?”
Absolutely, you cutest, most adorable son. You keep asking me like that and we can hold-you all day long.
Today you converted the phrase into an adjective. You had requested a hug. I leaned down to give you one and you said, “No…a hold-you hug.”
Whatever you say, baby. Whatever you say.
Did my story trigger any kind of memory for you? Even a totally unrelated memory? Write it down, right now.
