My blogging project has become a bit of a family affair. Because the boys are often the subject of my posts, they're curious to read what I write each week, and they also like to offer up suggestions for new material. Whenever something they think is funny or interesting happens in our day-to-day life, they tell me I should take a picture and blog about it. (They're so cute.) They propose thoughtful or comical titles for my posts, and they're really great encouragers. I love that the boys have fun being involved in an activity I enjoy so much.
Will is completely fascinated with the live traffic feed I've installed on my site. Most mornings he checks to see which countries people have visited from by studying the flag icons on the screen. Whenever he sees an unusual one, he hollers to me excitedly, and if he doesn't recognize a flag, he runs to get his almanac so he can identify it. Who knew that writing a blog would turn into geography and world studies lessons for our family?
Last week, the flag for Israel showed up on my traffic feed, and I'd never had a visitor from that country before. (Thanks for visiting, whoever you are!) When Will saw the city name of "Nazareth" beside the flag, his eyes widened, he stared at me excitedly and he said, "Mom! That could be Jesus!!" I couldn't help but burst out laughing as I imagined Jesus reading my blog. (Oh, my sweet, innocent boy!) That moment has become a bit of a running joke around our house all week, and while Will keeps telling us that it's not nice to joke about Jesus, we've assured him that it is okay to joke about Jesus reading my blog (because the joke is more about me than it is about Jesus!). I'm sure I'll never have a visitor who causes such excitement again!
The reader from Nazareth returned to my site several hours after the first visit, by the way. I guess Jesus liked my blog. Now that's a compliment!
