One problem with blogging when you have older children (once they find out what you are doing) is that they want input. After all, they are the main focus of this blog. I read a humerous article in Wondertime magazine about blogging moms that said how our kids will end turning their blogged lives into a drinking game in college. It went something like this. "If your mom blogged about your poopy diapers, drink once!" Pretty funny. (Disclaimer: I, of course, am not condoning drinking games in college. It was the sentiment that I found amusing.)
Surprisingly enough, the oldest two weren’t thrilled with my choice of aliases for them. Sir Charles and Princess Grace. Okay, a little cheesy. So, what now? Chuck? Chester? Muscle Man? LOL!!! Oh, the possibilities are endless and all a little cheesy. What nickname do you give an almost 17 yr old weight-lifting, joke-playing future Marine? Maybe we should have a poll?
And Princess Grace? She is a pretty 12 year old baseball player who actually isn’t all that into princesses, except for real ones. Hence the Princess Grace alias. Who wouldn’t want to be named after Grace Kelly? Well, she doesn’t. So, a name for a girl who equally enjoys Jane Austen and the Dangerous Book for Boys? Maybe I should have her do that quiz "Which Jane Austen Heroine are You?"! This is just too hard.
I am dreadfully indecisive, so I will open this up to you my readers. (I always chuckle at the thought of "my readers", don’t know why.) Many of you know my kids IRL (that is internet speak for "in real life", just gotta show how up-to-date I am. LOL!) so you have an insight that might be helpful.

I have no imagination at all. I just told my kids I was using their middle names as their aliases and that was that! 🙂 It would have been impossible to do, otherwise! :S

does Sir C have a favorite sports figure to be named after in this blog? We joke sometimes with our Joseph that he was named after Joe DiMaggio, Joe Montana, etc etc. He’s really into lifting now too, and has bulked up 20 lb since oct. Scary and cool at the same time. I agree, Sir Charles is NOT giving your son the image he deserves 🙂
no clue about girls, yet?!! Maria calls herself MiMi or marika, we haven’t gotten into the princess thing much yet 🙂
