you know, it would be neat to have some of that stuff recorded :) I had some recordings of me (many years ago) for a while and as I grew, I couldn't believe it was me.
I'm the kind of person who never things to stop long enough to "capture" that moment in time. As a result, I don't have much that ties me to my childhood, except a headful of mostly bad memories. I think that tangible things you can put away now might be a very endearing thing to her 20+ years from now...maybe more.
babe - you have got to be one of the best mothers I've ever seen with her child. You talk with her like she's a real person because YOU believe she really is one. There's huge value in that.
Yeah, she may see a therapist one day - but I would bet that it won't be because of the foundational relationship she's had with her mother.
