The Family that Blogs Together…

For the longest time, The Kid has wanted a blog. He reads this blog with more frequency than Lefty (and has made some pretty insightful comments on poems I've written for my National Poetry Month poem a day project). Often the first question I hear after school is, "Did you post today? What did you write about?" He has, on occasion, made supervised visits to some of your blogs. So over the weekend, I set him up with a blog of his own.

Now, before you'all have a cow about vulnerable kiddos turned loose in the big bloggy world, let me offer some assurances. Our family computer is in a very public space (the front room we call "the parlor"). The Kid is never online without a parent within eye or ear shot – most often one of us is right beside him to lend technical support as well as parental supervision. I'm moderating his comments myself.

The Kid is in love with the technology. He thrills at the idea of internet community - perhaps he'll find a friend or two to talk Legos, Star Wars, Bionicle and Pokemon with. I hope so.

So, you, my faithful reader, are invited to go on over there and say hi. The Kid will be thrilled.
