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.

  1. So true. Mummy is very protective of us and our little blog. It takes up so much of her time and though many people cannot see what she gains from it she feel happier when she knows it is well cared for.

  19. Looks like Laura today. I guess he had his tonsils out too. Laura is doing well. Great post.

    • Marshall DID have his tonsils out the year after this picture was taken. This surgery was to have a cyst removed from under his chin. Scary times for Mom and Dad, but he was a little trouper!

  20. One thing I know for sure—there will be NO terrible twos. :-). Congrats.
