Some of you may know, but I’ve been blogging for a long time…
a VERY long time.
Back before the prevalence of social media, I set up a little blog in 2008 just to share what was going on with our family. I called it the “Reynolds Rap.” (I used “Reynolds Latest” because “Reynolds Rap” was taken on Blogger). I wrote mostly for family and friends. This was way before we knew anything about parenthood. I had no idea what “parenthood” would turn into… No idea what “parenthood” even WAS.
This was before all the diagnoses. Before “autism.” Before we knew anything about Kabuki Syndrome.
This chronicles the beginning of our parenting journey as we tried to piece together all the “ins” and “outs” of parenthood. It shows the ups and downs we experienced figuring out “life” as young marrieds and young parents.
It shows us just trying to navigate things like the numerous medical issues with Jonny, the 3AM whine-fests, and random thoughts that would pop into my head before the age you could just post them as “status updates.”
I had to edit and redact a lot of it for privacy concerns, but the heart of the blog is still here. This ran sporadically from 2008, until I set up “A Touch of Ausome” back in 2016. There were some periods I would post multiple times a day… and some periods I would post once or twice a YEAR.
In any case, here it is.
ENJOY!
