No more brace face. Or I’m a bad mommy blogger.
I don’t brag on my kids. My dad bragged way too much on me and if anything, I am too slow to praise mine in front of others.
No, I don’t brag about my kids. I blog about them…which is probably far worse.
My son, my dear almost-ready-to-graduate-son got his braces off yesterday.
Before….
And when I picked him up an hour later.
Yes, I am taking pictures these days not only for material for posts but because…
He is leaving me!!!!!!!!
A friend who has another senior son has been posting pictures on her Facebook page of their middle school and high school years.
Every time I’m tagged in a post and I look at some great moment in my child’s life, I can’t help but think…
WHERE WAS I? WHERE WAS MY CAMERA?
Maybe this blogging thing is my record.
Like scribes we are recording our families’ evolution…for whomever in the world happens to click on the blog.
Is it right?
I really don’t know. When my father saw me vigorously twittering on my phone he said, “It’s just not natural.”
I don’t know if it’s natural but my son turning into a young man is very natural — but most unnatural to me.
After four years he got his braces off yesterday.
What I’m really wondering is how did the rest of him change so fast in four years — without any money or brackets or wires?
What about you? Are there things you won’t post on a blog or Facebook?
Your son looks great!! I remember when my daughter got her braces off — big day! As for me, my kids are in college, so I don’t post pics of them on my blog or FB… but I do (occasionally) write about them and even leave comments about them on other bloggers’ blogs 🙂 Congrats again!
Thanks Julia, and yes. He’ll be safe from my blogosphere next year.
I love this, you!
And it’s true – our blogs hold our memories and our stories. It’s not that it’s unnatural (I think), it’s just that it’s so very new!
We’re the first ones to do this. We’ll find out how it all turns out in a decade or so, right? 🙂

Yes, Galit who knows how this blogging/journaling will turn out. All I know is that the second I say okay, my daughter is starting her blog. And you know what the say about paybacks.
