''Are we taking the stairs or the alligator?'' ''Fog is clouds that have fallen down.'' ''You make me smile all over my face.''

• Kids are unpredictable, hilarious, imaginative, and tend to grow up way too fast. This keepsake journal is for their almost-too-brilliant moments: the parts of their lives you want to capture and remember forever (or help them remember when they're older).

• Prompts on each page guide allow you to jot down who said or did what, and where and when it happened.

• Reach for this book whenever your kids discover something new about the world, when they do something funny, or when they say something profound.

• Your family motto may be ''never a dull moment,'' and this journal will help capture for posterity all the moments that shine.

• Smooth-finish paper takes pen beautifully.

• Paper is acid-free and of archival quality.

• A handy inside back cover pocket holds notes, mementos, and more.
