I love pictures.
Specifically, I love pictures of my family, my children, places I've traveled, and my friends. My refrigerator has always been covered in photographs up until last summer when we childproofed our house. We were worried about little magnets and little mouths and fingers, so we took all the pictures off the refrigerator. Gradually I have put up a few birth announcements and 1-year-old pictures of friends' kids, but it's just not the same.
Since the fridge pictures went away, I did put together two kid-friendly photo albums for Zoe and Silas. One album is filled with pictures of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The other photo album is filled with pictures of my best friends, S&Z's "aunties". They have always loved these albums, first chewing on the pages and then looking at the pictures. More recently, Silas started taking the aunties photo album to bed with him. He gets tucked in while looking at pictures of Tracy, Timery, Rachel, Dana and Kristin :) It might be weird when he's 13 years old, but for now I find it adorable.
Today at AC Moore we found 2.5" x 3.5" wallet size refrigerator magnets for $1.19/each. We picked up 5 of them and I printed out pictures as soon as the kids when down for their nap today.
They love them! There's one of Julia from the day when they played with the sunglasses, one taken of Stephanie and Jim at Andy's wedding, a great picture of my parents in Gloucester, MA the week after our wedding, a shot of my Dad & Mary along the Harbor before they flew home after their visit in June, and a picture of the whole Dutra clan taken in the Arboretum at our wedding 3 years ago.
I'm happy the pictures are making their way back to the refrigerator! I can feel the love already...
