While older children can write a very personal letter to Mom, new dads can compile that collection of videos of the baby for the very best Mother’s Day gift or for the brave father, he can help the little one(s) create a scrapbook of loving memories for mom.
Dads are usually the ones holding the camcorder. He spends endless hours taking baby’s first everything and of mom holding their newest family addition. Some consideration should be put into compiling the best moments of the previous year onto a DVD for Mom. What a great tradition! Start with Mother’s first big Mother’s Day and continue the collection for Mom year after year.
As the little one grows, Moms (and Dads) will enjoy reflecting on those precious moments. And, as the little ones become teenagers, Mom will appreciate the memories of easier times when she still had some control!
In the long run, both moms and dads will appreciate the collection of memories as time goes by. When the kids finally leave home, there will be many quiet evenings when both parents can watch their children grow up all over again. Think of recording the baby looking up from the crib at a colorful mobile. What about capturing the picture of the little one taking his or her first steps, or the first tooth. What about capturing those first words forever? What about the first day of school or graduation?
Annual DVDs of the child growing up can easily be compiled by the dad with minimal computer skills. Imagine being able to relive life’s most precious moments. Imagine being able to show the grandchildren their parents’ milestones in life.
The Mother’s Day DVD is the truly lasting gift that will last a lifetime. Any mother will appreciate the memories. (Send a copy to Grandma, too.)
