Daily diary

[dawnn93]

I have a 3 year old starting and a baby 10weeks. What sort of things do you do in a daily diary?
If anyone can pm me with a template that would appreciated.

I have attached a copy of my Daily Diary...hope it helps. I use A5 ring binder to keep them in.

I just have an empty blank A5 notebook and write in it what we have done, eaten, drunk, nappy changes, trips, naps, general mood of lo - anything else of note etc...

i use an A5 ring folder too, then when parents forget, which they do sometimes, i can still fill out a sheet and they can add it, and its easy to add any photos or little works of art on seperate pages.

i have childs name and the date, then meals & snacks, sleep times & nappy changes, and then i write what we have done/where we have been. i used to have a box for parents to sign to say they had read it, but it was never signed, so i took it off!

i have a page at the back of the folder called 'parents comments' and parents use this in a variety of ways! one mum writes what child had done/how they have been each week when not with me, another uses it for changes of phone numbers/work hours/working away, another notes down when medicine has been given and no one else really writes anything! but it is there!

when the folder gets really full, i take all the pages out, tie them together and give them to the parents, then carry on with the ring binder!

Hi Cassie,

Could I please ask you to send this to me...please! I don't have access to view attachments yet but I'm working hard on getting my membership ungraded!
