When Julian has a day off from institution that Scarlett doesn’t have, I typically take him on a special date. We have done karaoke, gone to a kid’s art museum, seen a film in San Francisco, as well as hit The Exploratorium. just recently we went to Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world. Lombard street is depicted in a few books we have about San Francisco, which is about 25 minutes from our house. I let Julian (age 6) take all the pictures.
I discussed a few months back that I organized to begin a Posterous site for him. We’ve been loving it. It’s his own site where we can ahead photos that his grandparents send us to show him as well as they are displayed as blog posts. He has added YouTube links to his preferred videos as well as my other half published his soccer team roster there. You can publish anything, like a routine blog, however likewise you can add a “post”, just by sending an email to a specific address. The site is private, so I don’t have to concern about him composing crazy messages as he has a tendency to do as well as the whole world seeing them. For example, he composed a recent publish titled “My Dad’s Phone Number”. The text of the post? His dad’s phone number.
After our Lombard street outing, during which he counted the steps together with the street, he published a tally of the stairs he counted:
Later, I uploaded one of his pictures to the post.
Often other parents at institution send me photos of my youngster as attachments. I understand I’ll never keep in mind to look at those emails once again or to show them to Julian. in some cases they’re so enormous, I can’t even see them on my screen properly. (Updated: unfortunately Posterous has shut down because I published this.) It’s dead easy for me to ahead them to post@posterous.com. The subject line of the email becomes the publish title as well as the pictures show up in the body of the post. The pictures get resized automatically. Here’s one I got from the last day of school.
This post, as you may have guessed, is sponsored by Posterous. anybody who is concerned about privacy as well as safety and security of their pictures may think about setting up an account for sharing youngster photos. Also? If you don’t requirement all your former colleagues seeing your summertime vacation/bathing fit pictures, this is a method to produce an on the internet record of your pictures without opening them to your entire Facebook posse. just send them as accessories to emails dealt with to post@posterous.com as well as they’ll be displayed as posts.
