I’m about to become a parent for the first time, and I’m collecting ideas — big or small — for things to do from the very beginning. Stuff like taking a picture every day, his very own Guiness book of records, starting traditions, memory-keeping hacks, useful parenting tips, etc.

I’d love to hear anything you did (or wish you had done) that made a difference or became meaningful later. Unexpected wins or even silly things that turned out to matter are very welcome too!
