Goodness sakes! This is my new favorite layout. I love the entire thing a lot. But what I love most are those photos!! They aren't the "best" in terms of everything a photographer thinks of, but I truly feel like they are amazing photos! I love this hat on Alyssa, she loves it too. Wears it as much as she possibly can. She didn't think I'd buy it for her, but she hasn't caught on to when shopping, to actually ask for something and see how far she can get! LOL. I used to do that with my mom a lot when we shopped. But Alyssa is Alyssa and that isn't her, its what I love about her so!
I love these photos of Alyssa. The make me smile. They are everyday photos of her at the park walking the dogs, I like that.
Winnie The Pooh happens to be my favorite. I had no clue when we made the reservations for our character breakfast that morning that it would be Pooh and friends! You can imagine my delight at finding out who it was!!!! It was fun and the breakfast was good too!
This layout here is about Alyssa. She started wearing make-up. I know right... I basically just asked her and she said sure. So we stood in our hotel bathroom and I "taught" her about make-up. Of course I don't consider myself a technician, I just know that I didn't have help when I was younger. I wanted to keep this layout focused on the journaling and photo of that time. When we came home, I asked her if she'd like me to go buy her some make-up and she said yes. So that is what I did. She doesn't wear it daily, but has been practicing putting it on.
I remember when I turned 13. My mom said I could wear mascara and lip gloss. Of course I didn't care. But that freedom made it so it was okay. There didn't have to be any sneaky or anything like that, I was allowed to wear something so I went with it when I did. I was like Alyssa, I didn't always wear it. In fact, I didn't really start wearing it daily until the 8th grade. But even then I don't believe I put it on daily. I wished my mom would have stood with me and showed me stuff too, but I do appreciate the fact that she didn't make a big deal over it, she allowed it, and that was that. I wanted to make it that way for A too. And it is.
Happy day!
