Our youngest grandchild, Sophie's second birthday book. I finished this one in the car on the way to the birthday party. That's happened only one other time. I have to admit I was in such a time crunch, (literally sewing every spare moment) it was hard for me to spend much time thinking about this being my final book. What started as a first-year memento for our first grandchild has morphed into a family birthday tradition, each grandchild receiving one for their first and second birthday.
They started with children's poems and song lyrics but with the need to make each one individual, we started using modern music as inspiration. And that is where Paul stepped in to help. He is very good at creating his own lyrics to popular songs.
For Sophie's final book we used the song Home by Edward Sharpe. It was performed by Sophie's aunt and uncle at her parents' wedding, which is such a wonderful memory for us all. Except for Sophie of course. :)
