Activity #216: Blog from your baby’s perspective

bundlo is for babiesThis idea was suggested by Bundlo, the self-reported love child between Blogger and Flickr (although I understand paternity may still be contested).

It’s a geeky twist for you parents running baby blogs: instead of dryly recounting events and milestones, really channel your kid’s experience and write from their unique view of the world.

My husband did this once when Holden returned from a particularly busy holiday vacation being thrust into (relative) stranger’s arms and sleeping in odd places. It was a fun change of pace for our rather dull family blog.

Christmas. What a funny word. I don’t really know what its about but it seems to involve a lot of bright, twinkling lights and tasty bits of colored paper.

We’ve been back for a week or so and I think I’ve finally gotten my bearings. We’re back at this place that my parents call “home” and it feels good to be here. As much fun as it was to have all sorts of new people picking me up and giving me cool things to chew on, I miss my room and my bed. But most of all, I miss Dwarfland.

actually, our friend who lives in manhattan said just the other day, “Reason #55 why you are the hippest, coolest parents in the world is that you DO NOT write your baby blog from the baby’s perspective.”

Funny Chris, I have two comments in response: (1) maybe, just maybe, it’s good in small doses, but then again (2) I’m also guilty of writing thank you notes from my baby (because I am lazy).
