On the day that my daughter started to go to preschool, I wanted to take a nice picture of her. She decided to go out and stand on an enormous rock in the garden. So I took a picture of her on the rock. Turns out it's the same rock the neighbours stand on for their back to school pictures.
When the next kid started to school, we had to add a picture of the two of them together on the rock. It became the annual tradition, an individual shot for each, and a shot of the two of them.
Flash forward to today, and a good laugh as my two enormous children clung to each other to stay perched on a rock which has shrunk significantly in the last 12 years. It makes a fun addition to a great series of photos.
I've heard of people who take a picture month by month and year by year of their child posed in the same chair, or with the same teddy bear, or football, or whatever means something to the family. Series of photos are a great way to keep track of how your child is growing (and, perhaps, how your garden rocks are shrinking :).
