Cast is Off- and documenting the process.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Last friday was a big day in our house- after six weeks, Jonah got his cast off... Finally.

We took Jordan with us this time because one of the tech's name was Jordan (a guy), and Jonah thought it was the funniest thing that there was a boy Jordan. So he brought his girl Jordan along :)

He did great and was so happy-- yet timid-- about having his cast off. He held his arm close to himself for awhile. I think the ice cream on the way home helped him forget that it felt a little funny.

When I look at this whole situation i am just so proud of the way he chose to handle this trial in his life. i know in the eyes of a five year old, this is a really big deal-- but he handled it by choosing to never complaining once about the situation. i feel like i have alot to learn from him.

I created this layout documenting those very thoughts about his attitude about the cast. (Feel free to click on the photo if you would like to read the journaling). I am sure i will make a layout about the who and where about his cast and the story of how that came to be-- but this? this is a little life lesson I hope to capture, preserve, and revisit.

I used Lily Bee's gorgeous Harvest Market Collection for the majority of this layout. These papers are GORGEOUS. I am seriously in love with this line and it went so well with my photo.

I have to admit, my favorite layouts are the ones with my heart poured on the page, and this is one of them. I never ever regret spending more time (and space) on a page when journaling.
