Children and Blogs

My blog is two years old today. I guess that makes it a toddler.

A few days ago, I started thinking of all the ways we can compare a blog to a child:

1.) It/he is something we create.

2.) We decide on a name for it/him.

3.) We watch constantly for signs that it/he is growing.

4.) We smile when people say nice things about it/him.

5.) We feel proud when awards are bestowed upon it/him.

6.) We worry when it/he isn’t doing well.

7.) We enjoy sharing it/him with others.

8.) It/he is in our thoughts everyday (and in the middle of the night).

9.) We neglect(ed) housework to spend time with it/him.

10.) And last but not least…

…we celebrate birthdays.
