I think it's so sweet. They'll have a whole arsenal of love when they start using email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267541 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:06:12 +0000 pregnantbee 267541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I created one for my little guy, but hadn't thought about sending him anything to read later. Thanks for the idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267515 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 09:33:18 +0000 looch 267515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we did and we use it to send emails and photos to the grandparents, they love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267507 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 09:26:08 +0000 regberadaisy 267507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So of course now I had to go and create one for her!<br /> It would be a pretty neat birthday present when she's old enough for computers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267493 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 09:16:15 +0000 mrsjyw 267493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't be... Our name is so unique that I think it'll still be available for when LO can/will use e-mail for himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267067 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:38:01 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 267067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! but, i keep forgetting he has one and never send him anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267059 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:22:44 +0000 mediagirl 267059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: that commercial makes me cry every.time.</p> <p>I created a gmail account for her so she would have one. A few with her name were already taken so I created one with her first, middle initial, last. Hopefully she wants it someday. If not, oh well.</p> <p>I used my birthday. I don't think it matters that you can't change it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267044 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:12:19 +0000 Andrea 267044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, I just used my birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267028 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:54:11 +0000 regberadaisy 267028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: aww the idea of emails to her is actually kinda sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267025 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:49:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 267025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: well I wanted to make sure she had one for future use that didn't have to have a million numbers after it, lol. but also for me to send her emails and photos/videos, as well as other family members, for her to read later.</p> <p>idea stemmed from this commercial: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4vkVHijdQk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4vkVHijdQk</a></p> <p>ETA - I just rewatched that commercial after posting it here and bawled. again. damn hormones.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267024 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:48:08 +0000 regberadaisy 267024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are we creating emails for our LO?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-create-an-email-account-for-your-child#post-267017 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:31:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 267017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: LOL how funny would that be! she isn't here yet, but says hello anyway!</p> <p>woops, she's sideways.</p> <p>I give up trying to stick the picture in.

I've also read online that you cannot change your birthday in gmail!</p> <p>What the heck? I want to make it, but don't want her to not ever be able to change her birthday if she needs to. </p> <p>Do you think they'll make that changeable in the future?<br /> What did you do, if you made one? </p>
