meta

Readers,

I know there is a small but devoted audience for this blog. I look forward to Dylan and myself (and, I suppose, some of you) looking back on these entries years, even decades or generations down the road.

I've heard often from you, dear Readers, just sharing a thought about this or that posting, appreciation of the blog's existence from those far away, even requests to change the wording of a post for fear that it might give Dylan a complex (request denied).

Now I have a request, and an offer.

To enhance the richness of this collection of ravings about my little boy -- my beautiful handful -- I invite you to exercise the Comments sections available with each post. You have full license to make your comments as simple or elaborate as you feel. There is a certain energy around this blog (which I must admit, I write with you guys in mind too) that goes as yet un-captured. If and when a post here elicits a response of any kind within you, share it as I have done. Then we can share in it again somewhere down the road.

Of a similar note: if a thought, memory, or interaction with Dylan inspires you independently, consider adding your own post (or photograph, video, whatever) to this blog. I can enable you to do it on your own (it's really simple) or you can send it to me and I'll have it on the web in a jiffy.

ps: Posting a comment is really simple, but I recognize that "simple" doesn't always mean "easy". If you need any help with the technicals, gimme a shout.

Dylan,

We were shopping at the Osh-Kosh outlet and saw some shirts that instantly reminded us of you. They had construction equipment on them or as Auntie Gretchen and I recalled, "back-hoe diggers". We found one in your size (hopefully) and it will be on the way soon.

Dylan,
I have often had comments and thoughts to add to your blog, but have let them be as I wanted this to be Dad's special gift to you- and he is a much more "readable" writer than myself. But after many encouragements, and now a blog post just to this topic, I will relent and then attempt to put into words all the crazy things that you now contribute to my identity as Dylan's Mom. Keep your eyes peeled!
