Well that's a silly question. I write like five blogs on and off, because I love writing and I'm awesome at it. So why a blog with pictures and little quips about what's going on in my life. Ah! A more apt question, because this blog seems quaint, and Christopher is not often quaint.
This blog is a testament to the power of guilt trips. Not just any guilt trips will do the trick, because mostly I'm immune, but mother guilt trips are an entirely different beast. So I was talking to my mother about putting together my brother Nathan's scrapbook. And mentioned that once she was done she had to just wait and see if we ever started taking our own pictures. After which she lamented, "So I guess we'll just miss several years of your life."
My mother, of course, would deny that this was a guilt trip directed at me. She worded it ever so carefully that she would have plausible deniability. Because she's a genius. j
Point Two. I expect that I will one day have a baby because while I generally dislike children until they can talk, I am a major fan of progenitors. And those all start out as babies. Now, we have already test-run what a grand baby would look like in my family, and of course the demand for Cadance pictures was insatiable. Carolyn has aptly stepped up to provide those pictures via a blog, and this method seems very effective.
Because I am an indomitable egomaniac, I have to trick myself into thinking that when my family knocks down the door of my future blog to see pictures of this baby, they are also interested in me. So, if I start this blog now, and people read it occasionally I can use those data points to fool my future self's ego.
I hope that answers your question.
