Journaling Reads:
Always in such a hurry to be bigger. To keep up with your siblings. To walk sooner. And definitely to ride the big kids ride like your siblings.
Just 9 months ago, you were too little to ride any of the big kid rides. On this trip, you were finally tall enough to ride Star Tours, Splash Mountain and Radiator Springs Racers. You could have ridden Space Mountain and Big Thunder Railroad, too. It is amazing to watch you grow and grow so fast into an independent little man. Where has the time gone?
What you really, really wanted to ride was Indiana Jones. Your sisters and brother all love this ride, which is why you probably want to ride it so badly. After successful riding Star Tours this trip, you ran up the height measurer...Sorry, little one, you must wait a little longer for those last 6 inches. It will be another year and half of waiting.
In the meantime, your Mom will enjoy these sweet years of you this little. (Although, I do secretly look forward to you riding the rides with us, too.)
What wonderful storytelling here with the mix of facts and feelings.I love the use of the tape measure and the vertical design really emphasizes the story of growth.
Ohhh you can just feel the disappointment at not quite being tall enough yet for the Indiana Jones ride. I love that you shared this story because someday your kids will read this journaling and be able to remember WHY he wanted to ride - to be with like big brother and sisters! This is a gorgeous layout and I thank you for making it to be a part of the challenge.
I love how much thought has gone into this page, your use of space, your journaling, the way you have placed the growing up word strip vertically alongside the cartography stamp and the use of the yardstick-frame.
