I am embarrassed to admit...

...that I succumbed to twee-ness and made Alex her own LJ.

Posts about parenting, my feelings about Alex, and so forth will still be over here. The other one is just for her view of things.

You just know that with "lil" in the name she's going to grow up to be nine foot six and three axe handles across the shoulders...

If you can't be twee when you're a new mother, when can you be twee?

I suspect that I could safely add Alex's LJ to my no-drama filter, at least for another dozen years or so :-). She's already on my "people" filter.

You do realize that anyone who doesn't know about your 'lil' prefixing is going to read that as "the Lila lex"? :-)

If she starts getting friended by a bunch of Smallville fans, I'll know why. :-)

I'm reminded of Big Al being mistaken for Bi Gal.

Good luck with that! I made one for my Alex, and updated it, oh, maybe three times. It was much easier to keep track of him in my own.

Mine turned into a poetry collection. Most alarming.

Similarly with zozoe and bestestdog. :)

Her father insisted.

And the first entry was absolutely darling! Keep it up!

I'm amazed you held out this long. You're much more sensible than I am. (I called my brother-in-law and had him make it the day Xander was born. It's almost 11 hours younger than he is. Heh.)

Just be sure to delete it before she hits adolescence.

Are you kidding? Think of the blackmail opportunities!

Have you ever heard of Mutual Assured Destruction? I don't expect you'll be raising no idiot.

that I have no idea what twee-ness is! Can you educate me?

"Twee" is a British English term for, essentially, nauseatingly sentimental or cute. People who pretend to speak for their dogs, using baby talk, are twee.
