elizabeth, you made me smile. Eric, in my mind there is a big difference between the overarching concept of editing and proofreading. (If you are interested, I talked about this in enough detail to make anyone nauseous in an old post about the 5 Kinds of Editors.) All of that to say, I don't consider comments on a blog to be writing formal enough to need serious proofing. It's more like conversation--and well, you know how, um, unedited and like, stuff, our conversation can be, in general, I mean.

Geez…here I leave a comment on an EDITING website with a glaring spelling error….”fist” in may comment above (#9) should say “fit”… Were you just being nice Marcus or did you miss my spelling error?

Marcus, I got to tell you i think that it was this particular blog that has made me realize that I think it is time for me to begin blogging. By the way, the video is amazing.

Sally, they do when I’m open to it. It’s a constant struggle to remember to be fully present with my kids. Sometimes, I think I’m much better reflecting about our relationship than I am actually engaging them.

Marcus,
Kids bring such perspective to life, don’t they?

And I should add that I hardly made it through that last paragraph (I read this post out loud to my kids). I love how you see the big things in these little moments.

Oh! In our house, it’s Rudolph the Blue Nosed Elephant. Um, I don’t know. They aren’t 3, but they still make this stuff up!
