My parents are ok with no written journals and tell me they "trust" me to do my job and in a sense that is what it comes down to to a certain extent. Besides I can write anything whether that is what happened or not. I also found I was writing the same thing napped 9-10, Bm normal, ate well...... at that point it becomes a waste of time and paper.

I do know some caregivers that compose an email during naptime and send it out to parents detailing what the day has been like, activities, meal, etc. and then a small note per family on their particular child.
