- 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

A few lines: height, weight, time of birth and mother's last name. Such "reminders" from time immemorial hang on the handle to babies in the delivery room. Previously, these were oil tags. Now - small plastic bracelets. And practically in every family this first "document" of crumbs is kept as a relic.

Things with an extract and a christening shirt

And the first cap, the first booties, the firstboots, first raspashonka, the first anti-scratch. All those dear to the heart of the tiny things that today even on the finger of your grown up child do not fit. But they will remind you about the very first days of his life, his first successes and memorable moments. In some large families it is already a tradition to sign out in an older brother's envelope or pass a baptismal ceremony in the sister's dress.Photo: GettyImages

Pregnancy test and photos from ultrasound

And not only photos, but also video, perhaps even informat 3D, if you had enough money for this and there was a desire. When the baby grows a little, you can show it to him. Suitable for answers to the question "How did I come into the world?".

The first nipple

"Did I suck?" It? When was lyalko? "My son looks at the tiny pacifier in disbelief." Yes, yes, my dear. And when I lost it, it was just a tragedy of a global scale. I have one hundred and one more story related to this pacifier. And it will help me to preserve these memories even after twenty years.Photo: GettyImages

Zubik, curl, clamp from the umbilical cord

Someone considers this an exhaustive search, but suchminority. Otherwise, in the children's hairdressing salons there would not have been a special service "first curl". After the first haircut, the baby is put in a specially designed envelope with the date of the haircuts and the photo of the process. By the way, the tradition to store such things goes from the beliefs of our ancestors - to spread nails and hair was impossible, otherwise you will not pass out to the child of the evil eye. And not only hair and nails. Once upon a time, mothers kept an amniotic "shirt" and a placenta. By the way, the fashion for storage (and even eating) of the placenta returns again.

The first rattle and the first book

Maybe once you thought she was crackingespecially loudly. But today, among talking dolls and cars with sirens, its sound seems to you a sweet music for the ear. But here, on the right, her chewed someone's two first teeth. And this cardboard, slightly bitten and properly oslyunyavlennaya "Chicken Ryaba." Nostalgia…

Silver spoon on the first tooth

It is not only a memory, but also a tribute to that,who gave it - usually someone from close relatives makes such a gift. Very often on these spoons do the engraving with the date. And a reminder, and the farm will come in handy.Photo: GettyImages

First drawings and notes

No! This is not Malyaki! And not that indecent thing that you might have imagined. This is a car! It seems to you that it does not look like it, but for a two-year-old baby who created the first masterpiece in his life, one to one. So do not throw it away. Maybe in about twenty years you will get rich in this picture if the baby grows up a new Van Gogh. Well, it's unlikely that your hand will raise a note with the first clumsy "MOM, I LOVE YOU!".

Not only things

Our parents do not have such opportunities.It was. And we use the achievements of civilization in full. Thousands of photos, videos of your baby. They make excellent family photobooks and movies. It's great when at the same time moms keep a diary. Write down all the important events from the children's life: when he sat down, when he went, when the first tooth came out and fell out, what the first word said. Year in three you can begin to write children's pearls - just type the whole book. Another modern fashion is the casts of the pens and legs of your crumbs. In the departments for kids even sell special clay sets. But you can do it yourself, for example, from a salted dough. In the baked form it is not worse than plaster - to eat it just will not work.
