3 years & 3 months and what I miss about blogging.

I don’t know about you but I kind of miss what blogging used to be.  When it used to be more like journalling.  A bit more raw, and rough, and honest.  It’s just so carefully curated and created these days that I miss when it used to be just people, telling their stories.

I miss the days when I was totally oblivious to the ‘best way to blog’ and ‘how to attract more readers’.  When there was nothing to do other than record my thoughts and hit publish.

I don’t think blogging can go back.  But for me, I’d like to recapture some of what I first came to blogging for.  Simply to capture where we are now, for me to read later when I’m old and grey and wearing rose coloured glasses. When the days of tantrums and utter exhaustion are long forgotten.

At 3 years and 3 months this picture pretty much sums up Eamon at the minute. A ball of energy, full of personality, always seeking our attention, a little bit crazy and covered in dirt. His vocabulary and the way he speaks is out of control.  He always asks what new words mean and then uses them in context only moments later. I cannot tell you how proud I am that my three year old knows how to use the word ‘pandemonium’ accurately. (It’s in one of his favourite books).  He also likes to make up words and gives the most elaborate excuses for EVERYTHING!

Today I asked him some questions and his answers just crack me up.
