autograph book for 1 year old?

[lovesdumbo]

We're taking DD (4 1/2), DS(3) and DD (1). I plan on doing autograph books for older DD and DS. Should I do one for baby too? Will she want to play with theirs? Will she want to see hers in the future? I'll already have to keep track of the other 2 do I really want/need 3? She's only 8 months now so it hard for me to know what her reaction will be to things 4 months from now.

Maybe wait and see how she reacts to the characters?

I just did one for my 13 month old son just because my 3 year old DD had one and I didn't want him trying to grab hers and it turned out well he started handing it to the characters on his own towards the end of the trip. He is a fast learner and imitates his sister or our behaviors easily. For our trip in Dec I'll do it again

I would say it depends on how interested you think your 1y-o might be in the characters. My DD was 4 1/2 when she got her first autograph book. We are leaving Monday and I will not be getting one for my DS - 3 1/2. I'm not even sure that my kids care all that much about the autographs. Last year, DS was not too receptive to the characters, but he swears he won't be shy this year. Personally, I couldn't possibly keep track of all those books, the kids and the cameras and get it all done in the 2-4 minutes that the characters spend with you. Too much stress for me!! Good luck and have fun!

I am in the same boat as spr0m. My 20 month old does everything her big sister, who is 4, does. Today at lunch, the mail came and the big one handed my a piece of mail (they got it from DH) and the little one had to hand me one too.

I am thinking of getting her one just so she doesn't try to grab her sister's all of the time. If she sees the big one get an autograph and picture, I know she'll want to do it too.
