Kids, Blogging — Is Wacky Girl the World’s Youngest Blogger?
Is my daughter, Wacky Girl, the world’s youngest blogger? According to the Internet she is. I can’t find anyone 7 or younger who blogs, other than her. (She’ll be 8 in September.)
Sometimes she types her own stuff (blogging, fiction and e-mails); sometimes she dictates to me and I type. (If we’re in a hurry.) She’s been typing up her own stuff for awhile now and started writing stories when she was wee tiny lass.
Until two years ago her typing looked like this:

Then it looked like this:
dear wacky boy I love you. I am glad you are my borther. Did you like that waffle? We are going shopping, and then comeing home to play, and giting back into the car to go iceskating.
Now it looks like this:
THE FOUR MONSTERS
by Wacky Girl
There lived two monsters who lived in a creaky old house, with spooky old trees aound them. Their names were Jill and Fred. They each had only one friend, Liz and Peter. They were the only four monsters. They were all five, but one was six – that was Jill. She was the oldest. She was glad, becase she could swim and the other three could not…
Anyway. We have her site password-protected, until she is a teen and discovers MySpace, at which point I will lock myself in the bathroom and sob. If you come across any kid blogs we might like, please leave the addresses in comments or send an e. Mercy bouquet.

Wacky Mommy
Elliot has a blog, but he’s 11 1/2. Hardly EVER posts. He’s writing a book, and an encyclopedia on medieval weaponry, plus there’s soccer and scouts–the kid’s busy! I’ll e you the address; it’s not password protected so we’re keeping it quiet and off search engines, etc.
I heart Wackygirl. She’s a genius!

She beats my kids! Both (8 and 10) have been guest bloggers on Pass the Torch. D is currently writing the Save-the-Earth Saturday series leading up to Earth Day.
Good for Wacky Girl!

I have a 6 year old that has a blog, it’s all about faeries. She hasn’t blogged in a while, not since Christmas but I’m sure she will during spring break. I bet she’d love to become blogging friends with your little girl.

She would love that, I’m sure! So the record holder may be your little girl.

Hi there,
My son has a blog. He is three-and-a-half: see http://www.worldsyoungestblogger.com
Of course I have to give him a little bit of help with the typing! But basically his blog is his world, as he sees it.
