**sigh** this was so heartbreaking to read. I don't want my ds to get another minute older....it really is driving me into a frenzy...I guess because He's turning 1 next week. I love this though girl. Your journaling is really Heartfelt.
I wonder how many moms are reading this and thinking, yep, that's just like me. Skylar found that new kind of freedom too when Malory was born, 9 years behind him. Suddenly I had to let him go a little. Anyway, love that you journaled that feeling. Beautiful design, I really love the way the lines frame the journaling and I love the frame around his feet!
Wow!! This is a great LO. I feel the same way about my little girl. (she's an only child) I have always gone everywhere with her, she's never out of my sight. I have only let my Mother watch her for a couple of hours, and that isn't very often. I'm going to have to let go because she starts kindergarden this fall. I know it's going to be very hard for me. So I KNOW how you feel. Not overbearing, just cautious.
i like how you write. you just say what you really think. im not really good in writing so most of my LO are from books and quotes i see. This is just amazing. Its one of those pictures that you look at and you remember lots of nice memories.
You've done wonderfully with the journaling here...I was a mom who had to learn to let go too and, nope, it's not easy. You've done a great job of reflecting that in this layout!
your journaling!!! it's priceless. it's nice to know i'm not the only one. if i could, i'd still take my 8 year old son into the woman's restroom with me *wink*. It's so hard letting go, but now days, i don't think there is such a thing as "too careful". even out in the country :). and it's not rambling when your journaling makes SO much sense! love it! wonderful job, girl.
ok, first let me say that your journaling here is absolutely fabulous!! it is so real and it's obvious it's coming from your heart. that's MY kind of journaling!!!! and rambling... wow... i could go on & on about how i ramble. (hehe... did you catch that irony there?) anyway, you really did this perfectly and i LOVE the way you did that date stamp!! my have to steal that one from ya!!!! great work, girl... really.
fantastic journaling. that is what I do---ramble. it's real, you know? LOVE this. Your date stamp rocks! The perfect touch!! And, ((hugs)) on the motherhood thing. I feel ya.
Yeah!! You did a great job with the journaling!!! Really!! And your new date stamp rocks!!! This is a great photo and I can so relate to being an overprotective mother. We live out in the country in a small neighborhood and my son isn't allowed to go by the road for any reason at all. I don't trust too many people.
This Layout Literally Took My Breath Away - Sent Me Reeling Back in Time to My Overprotective Mommy Days...All of My Children Are Grown Now, but I Still Wouldn't Let Them Out of My Sight if I Could Get Away With It. Smiles...
Beautiful, Heartwarming Layout!!!
Sincerely,
Idgie
I signed up for serious rambling!!! This I love.....for the LO, for the photo, for the heartfelt journaling....for all that it encompasses. You go right ahead...rambling is good for the soul!!
*WARNING* serious rambling ahead!! lol Ok so yes, I am one of those hovering, overbearing mom’s.. one of the mom’s who wouldn’t dream of popping out of the car to hand some guy $20 for gas without taking out the baby.. And I live rural ..really rural! I wouldn’t let my son play on playgrounds unless I was right behind him.. seriously I am sure it drove him a little crazy but I just couldn’t let it go.. I was looking through these photo’s from the park. and saw these that I took of him skipping and rolling in the field.. and I thought wow he is SO far away from me.. almost an entire field’s length.. trust me if you knew what I was like you would be shocked!! LOL This my attempt at trying to do more journaling.. its funny because I am one of those people who write’s letters to the editor.. and constantly is searching for little bits of paper that I write every thought, idea and cute story down on.. but, I just find getting it to look right on the page is so hard! I love how so many of you make it look effortless.. It isn’t for me yet LOL Journaling: You’re not so little anymore. Sometimes I feel like I don't know how this happened, I know people say kids grow in blink of an eye, but you really did. At first I thought it was the short haircut or starting school. But today I realized that it is for real. Because it's not just you, it's "us". I have grown too. Before your sister was born I never, and I mean never let you out of my sight. I never walked in a store or parking lot without clutching your hand and intently surveying my surroundings to ensure your safety at all times. Until Piper came I climbed all the playgrounds got in the dirt, sat by the tub even though you were five and chased after you everywhere like a madwoman. But lately my hands have been to full for your hand and I can't take Piper into tunnels and forts just yet. So you have been given that freedom, some by necessity, and some by your own desire. Sometimes it just feels like a lot of space so quickly. And every step you take seems to be further away. Wow if you read all that hats off to you.. I really do blabber on like that in person too.. LOL
