Childhood, now brought to you by Google

First Impressionist thinks blogs written by parents will ultimately be a good thing for the offspring whose exploits are chronicled:
How many of us 35+ year olds can boast of having some kind of historical play by play access to our parent’s thoughts regarding our developement and behavior?
Most baby books abandon record-keeping at age 7, and even then, only record specific accomplishments; first tooth, first doctor visit, school picture, etc..There are so many things a person experiences growing up and much of it is forgotten. It’s nice to think that current and future generations can do a web search and re-experience an innocuous afternoon outing, a particular Halloween, an afternoon movie, shopping for school clothes etc…and as an added bonus, see themselves through their parent’s perspective whether it be one of annoyance or amusement. I think being able to see the love behind each post will be reassuring as well.
