Hmmm... I know this sounds disgusting, but I kept my first tooth that I lost  Although your boys are a bit young for that yet... an idea for the future!? Lol.
I also kept the plastic clip thing that went on Chloe's tummy button cord, and all her baby congratulations cards. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

We've got all of the above plus things like fathers/mothers days cards, letters from Grandparents etc, postcards from family and birthday invitations.
My brother has just been to the USA so I MADE him send a postcard. It's a Mickey Mouse one and is written to Cooper in "kid language" so cute! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ummm, where to start? My girls have a 60l container each...
I have the pregnancy tests, all their ultrasound pics (there were a lot with the gremlins!), their cord clips, hospital tags, the cards off their hospital cots, the newspaper from the day they were born, clippings of their birth notices, all of the cards they were given at birth and for subsequent birthdays/christenings etc., the first outfit they ever wore, the outfit they wore home from the hospital, booties my great aunty knitted, their first shoes, first toothbrushes, the candle off their first birthday cake... And for Maya I also have special pieces of artwork from daycare/preschool, her daycare and preschool graduation certificates, a clipping from her first haircut (gremlins don't have enough hair yet lol!)... Yep, I am a bit of a sentimental fool! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Are you just using a plastic box with a lid or are there "special" boxes that you can buy?

We just have the 60l tubs you get from the Warehouse. Maya started out with a pretty box, then an archive box, but it kept growing! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
