The journaling is in the card holder. It says: July 6, 2004 This day I was doing some stuff on the computer and you kept coming in and rubbing your sweet little face on my arm. You'd do that for a few seconds and then run off to play. On and off you did this... for about 10 minutes. Finally I stopped you and asked what you were doing with my arm. You replied: "You snell (he can't say smell...its snell) like boo-tee-ful, Mama." Awwww!
