- Maybe someone will seem stupid, but I do it allthe mother-in-law carefully touches the things lying in the casket: a light brown tag with the time of the birth of her eldest son-my husband, the old Soviet nipple, a tiny cap. My mom does not take it easy. When my son was born - her second grandson, she brought me a whole suitcase of diapers and children's things. Most of them are not less than forty years old - so much my older sister. - She wore, you wore, her son wore, now you will get it. You know what a feeling for grandmother: to see her grandson in the swing she once chose with tenderness for the daughter? ..A photo: GettyImages Every mother decides for herself what to store and why. Someone is hoarding things in the hope that they will get to the next child. Someone distributes everything to the last vest. so that they do not occupy an extra place. But there are nice little things that will be stored in your family as a real relic. The editorial staff of the Wday asked Mom, what knots they "tied" for memory. And the rating was the most popular.

A tag from the hospital

Несколько строк:height, weight, time of birth and mother's last name. Such "reminders" have been hung on babies' arms in the delivery room since time immemorial. Previously, these were oilcloth tags. Now - small plastic bracelets. And in almost every family, this first "document" of the baby is kept as a relic.

Things with an extract and a christening shirt

And also the first cap, the first booties, the firstboots, the first romper, the first anti-scratch mittens. All those tiny little things dear to the heart that today won’t even fit on your grown-up child’s finger. But they will remind you of the very first days of his life, his first successes and memorable moments. In some large families, it’s already a tradition to be discharged in an envelope of an older brother or to undergo the baptism ceremony in a sister’s dress.Photo: GettyImages

Pregnancy test and photos from ultrasound

And not only photos, but also videos, perhaps even in3D format, if you had enough money for it during pregnancy and had the desire. When the baby grows up a little, you can show him all this. Suitable for answering the question "How did I come into this world?"

The first nipple

— I sucked? This? When I was a baby?— My son looks at the tiny pacifier with disbelief. — Yes, yes, my dear. And when I lost it, it was simply a tragedy of global proportions. I have a hundred and one more stories connected with this pacifier. And it will help me preserve these memories even after twenty years.Photo: GettyImages

Zubik, curl, clamp from the umbilical cord

Some people think this is too much, but there are many of themminority. Otherwise, there would be no special service called “first lock” in children’s hairdressing salons. A lock of hair after the baby’s first haircut is placed in a specially designed envelope with the date of the haircut and a photo of the process. By the way, the tradition of keeping such things comes from the beliefs of our ancestors – it was forbidden to scatter nails and hair, otherwise the baby would not escape the evil eye. And not only hair and nails. Once upon a time, mothers kept the amniotic “shirt” and placenta. By the way, the fashion for keeping (and even eating) the placenta is returning again.

The first rattle and the first book

Maybe at one time it seemed to you that it was crackingespecially loud. But today, among the talking dolls and cars with sirens, its sound seems like sweet music to your ears. And here on the right, someone's first two teeth have gnawed it. And here is this cardboard, slightly bitten and properly slobbered "Ryaba the Hen". Nostalgia...

Silver spoon on the first tooth

This is not only a memory, but also a tribute toto the person who gave it to her - usually such a gift is given by one of the close relatives. Very often such spoons are engraved with the date. Both a reminder and useful in the household.Photo: GettyImages

First drawings and notes

No! This is not scribbles!And it's not that indecent thing that you might think. It's a ma-chine! You might think it doesn't look like it, but for a two-year-old who created his first masterpiece in his life, it's exactly the same. So don't throw it away. Maybe in twenty years you'll strike it rich with this drawing - if the kid grows up to be the next Van Gogh. And it's unlikely that you'll have the heart to throw away the note with the first clumsy "MOM, I LOVE YOU!"

Not only things

Our parents simply don't have such opportunities.was. And we use the achievements of civilization to the fullest. Thousands of photos, videos of your baby. They make excellent family photo books and films. It's great when mothers keep a diary at the same time. They write down all the important events in their children's lives: when they sat down, when they walked, when their first tooth came out and fell out, what their first word was. At the age of three, you can start writing down children's pearls - you'll definitely fill a whole book. Another modern fad is casts of your baby's hands and feet. They even sell special clay sets in the baby departments. But you can also make them yourself, for example, from salt dough. Baked, it's no worse than plaster - you definitely won't be able to eat it. Read on:
