That is so sweet! It actually made my eyes a little misty! I have that "map" paper and wondered how I was going to use it... you gave me an idea! Your journaling was so poetic, what a treasure for him to read that when he's older.
I need a tissue...the journaling is awesome and it does explain the lo, in so many ways...this is too good not to be seen.....I am putting it NSBR..we have a thread about lo's not to miss!
I had fun with this layout. I wanted to use mesh with something, and when I took these pictures, I thought it went along perfectly. I also was determined to leave room for my journaling. The journaling with this page makes the page make more sense. I always forget about it. It's very small, but it's on there!

Here's what the journaling says:
My dearest Phillip, As I took these photos of you, the thought occurred to me that I was boxing you in. You didn't seem to mind too much, but it reminded me of the fact that your babyhood is quickly going by. In the blink of an eye, you will be toddling around the house, exploring your "world", and learning so many new things. After that, you will grow into a little boy, and someday, a man. I only hope that as a mother I can be like an accurate compass, always pointing you in the right direction. I hope I can draw you a map of the world, and teach you how to read it. But I hope you will always know how to find your way back home to me. I will always be here for you. Whether you're in my arms, or halfway around the world. I love you, now and forever.
