Silly
Sometimes, when my boys were very happy and having fun, I was moved to just snap a picture to remember the moment.
Just like the journal, these photos capture the positive truth about who your children are and how much they enjoy each other.
In more challenging times, they can look back on these photos as a defining part of their relationship specifically and their family life more broadly. Pictures like this can even contribute to a positive self-image.
Snap away, my friends!
