There are so many new babies in our family now. Every year several are added and the family just keeps getting bigger. Our family gatherings are so much fun, but there are times I can barely remember the names of all the new children or who they belong to!
Along with babies in the family, friend and co-workers are busy getting busy, it seems, because there are also a lot of babies being born to those at work. Which leaves me wondering --- how do the actual grandparents, aunts, and uncles ever keep up with all the names/
It might make it easier if, every time a baby comes into the family, the parents make sure to announce it, plus invite someone to be the godmother or godfather. This way, whoever accepts that invitation can purchase a godmother gift that will help trigger their memory.
I can just imagine a personalized rattle or a storybook with the child's name being given and helping the giver to remember the details. It's important, in my opinion, to include these kinds of gifts and also be someone in the family who can share this information with others.
