She's Gone Blog Crazy

Paige has really taken to this writing thing. In fact, she goes through diaries, journals, notebooks, and plain reems of paper like nothing else. She'll just sit and write for hours. She writes notes to herself and her friends. She records the events of the day. She makes up story after story. She has even created her own newspaper.

Recently I bought her a magnetic dry-erase board for her room so she could hang up her pictures, artwork, and writing. Well, she loves it. It didn't take long though to see a pattern in what she was using it for. It started with a message for me: Dear Mom, I really, really, really love you. The next day a new message appeared: Happy Birthday, Aiden. I love you. The next morning she had written a note to the entire family: Dear Family, Even when I fight with you, I still love you. Abipadip. Love, Paige. (The abipadip part is a secret family word that means 'I love you'.) And again this morning there was yet another message on her board. Thats when she said, "Mom, have you checked out my blog yet?"

Yes, a blog. She is using the magnetic dry-erase board as her blog. She even puts pictures on it. I'm just not sure which one of us is more blog crazy, me or her.
