A New Web Site For Friends

A few weeks ago, I was putting the kids to bed and Colin said, "Daddy, my friends make me happy."
I thought it was a sweet comment, so I asked him who all of his friends were. He started to tell me all of his friends at Mom's Day Out (Zachary, Luke, etc.), then began talking about his friends at Mom's Club (Adam, etc.).
He asked me who his other friends were and I reminded him that even though they were family, his cousins were his friends as well. After he named all of his cousins, plus Grandma and Grandpa and Daddy and Mama, I asked him if he had any other friends he wanted to talk about.
He said, "Daddy, I'm really tired now and need to go to sleep. We can talk about all of my other friends some other time. If you want to know more about my friends, go to www.colinandfriends.com."
I about fell off his bed laughing, but couldn't believe the creativity. I know he hears things like "If you want to learn more about Bob The Builder, go to www.pbskids.org", but to put it together to create his own site for his friends was too funny.

A Start of Something New

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but kept putting it off. After all, a blog takes time, right? Will it just become something that eventually becomes like my New Year's Resolutions? Of course, I always stick to those. LOL!

But there are so many times when our kids say or do something that is either so hilarious or thought-provoking that I hope I can always remember that day. Alas, that's not to be for the vast majority as time marches on and memories fade (some faster than others).

A valuable tool is the blog, as I would love to look back years later and review my notes, anecdotes, and the joy of the kids growing up.

So, time for a concerted effort to publish the hilarious, the humorous, the absolute wonder in observing childhood in all it's innocence and wondering what they might say or do next.

Of course, I'm not committing to daily blogs. I would only be fooling myself. But I do commit to capturing memories.
