![]() ![]() I love the concept of your blog, and I’m actually starting out my own in respect to sharing gratitude for great moms, like you □Īnd keep doing what you’re doing with this awesome blog! I have experienced many funny situations like the ones you talk about here. I am 21 years old and I have worked at the local swimming pool throughout my highschool years and every so often I return to take some more shifts. I can’t wait to read more and share similar experiences. I mean, I can actually scroll down past dozes of pictures and know exactly what you’re talking about with some reference to the text around them. I think the pictures enhance your writing and blog as whole. I’d also like to mention the scannability and readability of your posts. I find that you even link to previous blog posts when certain jokes or ideas are not clear to the first-time-reader. I appreciate how you incorporate your thoughts into each post, that way, we as readers know exactly how to approach each situation that we are faced with in subsequent blog posts. I find myself reading three or more posts everytime I visit just because it’s so quick, easy and convenient –especially with the use of pictures. You write short and sweet pieces that are fun and easy to read. I also admire how detailed you are with even adjusting your son’s (and your) facial expressions to accompany the dialogue. I enjoy how the pictures illustrate the environment in which these funny little parenting situations occur, and the only thing that really changes from picture to picture within a blog post is the dialogue.Even the clothes don’t change from post to post (you wear purple and your son wears blue) and this is helpful because otherwise changing the colour would probably confuse the reader. They are such a great tool for depicting dialogue between you and your son. I find the pictures are hilarious (and very well drawn by the way). Hi Amber, just wanted to stop and say I’m really enjoying your blog. Not sure if this is his 99% logic or his 1% magic talking, but hey, elves are still real. I ask about a whole bunch of fairytale folk. Because I don't really care if he believes in those or not. ![]() A kitten died somewhere when he said that. But ultimately he decides that Totoro is "probably not real". Going on hikes, finding hollow "totoro trees" that they might be sleeping in. Totoro was such a huge part of his childhood. (see My Neighbor Totoro)Īt first, he says he isn't sure. At least 1%.īecause I already know how he feels about mermaids. There has got to be something left that he believes in. So I sit down and decide to ask him if several things are real or not. He is almost entirely coded from my scientifically minded, fairy disproving husband. I am now quite sure that when the cells were dividing, most of my genetic material was thrown in the trash. ![]() So he explains that fairies weigh too much and that the wings they always show fairies having would never work. I mention butterflies and birds and that they fly. He says they aren't real because of the wings. So when I uncover a remnant of it I start digging to see how deep it goes. That "magic innocence of childhood" stuff is fading fast. I search for the magic sometimes, to see how much is left. He is at an age where he no longer believes in many things that he once did. I think it was something like "maybe it was a fairy" who hid the toy he was looking for. The other day, in passing, Crappy Boy mentions something about fairies. ![]()
