{me and gramom ellie}
Last year my PopPop handed me some typed sheets in an envelope that he had found in his desk. They dated back to 1978, when I was just over 1 year old, and he and my Gramom had watched me for 6 weeks while my older brother was having brain surgery. (he's okay now.) PopPop is a list kind of person (a trait he passed on to me) and I found this collection rather great.
I no longer do the dolphin kick when I'm angry, but I do like eggs and cheese for breakfast, while watching the dogs and birds.
Wouldn't it be interesting to have a list like this for each year of your life? I'm going to write one for the present year, and try to keep it up. I'm always looking for something special to do on New Year's day, for instance. I'm going to go put a Post-it on the calendar to remind myself in December...

Yes indeed!
It would be interesting to have these lists year per year next to the classic photobooks ^^
This is utterly wonderful. You are truly blessed to have such wonderful grandparents.
What an amazing list to have. Not only does it give you insight into little baby you, but it also your grandparents. How special.

That's so funny! It seems to fit in with this blog perfectly. :) It's always interesting to look back at how we used to be... but I don't think I've ever looked THAT far back.
Thanks, everyone! This was fun to put together ~ so interesting how we are who we are already from an early age.
My PopPop did used to type *everything*, Barb! And he carries a little notepad in his pocket with a felt-tipped pen...
