Your so sweet... I've misplaced the poem, believe I gotten here on scs though: "Baby Memory Can" poem. Its super cute, when I find it I'll send it to you. Thanks again for the complements. The bears are 'tear bears'... I just traced different sized circles/ovals on brown mulberry paper with a pencil, then with my water color brush/a bit of water outlined my pencil lines. While its still wet tear with fingers around... then I took a old tooth brush and scrubbed over the paper to get some fuzzy look on the face, then just applied the smaller oval for the mussle and drew on the eyes/mouth. The ears are the same basically as the mussle. I used a glue dot for the bows. The bears with bows on heads were to represent the girls and the bow ties for the boys. When I finished all 19 kiddos I then wrote their names with a fine tip marker under each bear. Oh yes, the checks are just the end of a q-tip dipped in pink pastel chalk. My fingers hurt so bad after that but it was fun, and very worth the effort.

Found the poem:
Here is the poem:
Baby Books are great ideas,
but sometimes you�re too busy.
Living with a little one
can put you in a tizzy.
Milestones pass too fast at times
to find the proper page,
so jot a note of each event
with date and baby�s age
(like �took 3 steps on June the 1st�
or �teething - 5th December�).
Then drop it in this memory can
to help you to remember.
