Only a mother can appreciate to the full every fascinating step in their early development. Yet, years later, parents too often wish that they had not relied entirely on memory for a record of each child's birth and subsequent activities. A good memory is a wonderful thing, but, as the years slide by, the constant accumulation of new events imperceptibly dims the clarity and accuracy of recollection regarding dates and details of by-gone days. It is a great help and convenience to be able to turn to a complete and exact record of your children's birth and childhood. Such information as birth certificate numbers, dates and important events in their lives should be always available, not only for the parents but also for the use of the children themselves. This book is designed to enable you to keep such a record - which, in later years, you will treasure as one of your most valued possessions. You must remember, however, that while this book affords the means for creating the record, only you can fill it with the tender memories that are always nearest a mother's heart." - from the introduction.
