call me crazy

So I did something a little crazy yesterday that one of my (very) nerdy computer friends suggested - I went ahead and secured my 8 month old child a Yahoo email address... and maybe a Gmail... and maybe even a Twitter account too.

That's right, bradenturner15@yahoo.com, bradenturner15@gmail.com, and @bradenturner15 are all locked up for little B to use 10 years down the road when all the basic name email addresses have been taken.  Sounds a little crazy, but the more I think about it, it's a genius move!  Even I haven't changed my email since I got married because anything related to my new last name is taken, and it automatically suggests something crazy with five numbers involved, plus periods and underscores - too much for people to remember.  I can't imagine Yahoo!/Gmail/Twitter not being around 10 years from now, and one day he will thank me for being such a crazy mother and doing this!

Matt asked if I had already made other ones for names of future children we might have - don't worry, I'm not that crazy, but it definitely crossed my mind too before he said it!

  1. Kelly made Knox an email account as the RSVP to a shower before I had him. I sent the account to family, and we have 2 years worth of random emails to him, sent by us, grandparents, and aunts/uncles. I love that he'll not only have his own email (with only his name), but that he'll have emails from people who love him starting before birth.
