A simple layout using photos from Disney World. I've used a similar design for another layout (Sweet Dreams). Thanks for the looking and the comments!!

The journaling says:

Claire, the exchange captured in these photos is more than just another Disney World memory. The exchange between you and this little Asian boy is what convinced me that you are definitely big sister material. Here's the scoop: you and I were waiting for Daddy at the exit of a ride at Epcot. It was a fast, race car ride and you weren't tall enough, and I was feeling a little tired, so we sat it out. You didn't want to stay in the stroller, so I handed over your children's digital camera and let you wander around, taking photos. At some point, you attracted the attention of this little boy, who couldn't have been older than two and who was also waiting with his mother nearby. Having overheard the mother talk to her son, I knew they were foreigners and I was willing to bet the little boy did not understand English. Obviously, you didn't speak his language either. But neverthless, when the boy approached you and pointed to your camera, you kindly showed it to him. And before I knew it, you offered it to him, bending your knees to get to his level. I could hear you try to instruct him, too, using your sweet, high-pitched "baby voice." Best of all, though, I got to see you display such a gentle patience as the boy proceeded to waddle off with your camera pressed up to his face. You looked back at me to make sure this was okay - I mean, I would wonder, too, if some kid came up and took my camera - but after a reassuring nod from me, you simply followed him around, pointing out things he could "photograph". Eventually, his mother called for him and had him give back your camera, and you went right back to taking your photographs. But as for me, the picture of you being so sweet to this little boy was burned in my brain and my heart. I knew then that we just had to make you a big sister.
