Please
buy
me
a
token.
Not William.
He felt more like this about it.
For most children I think the carousel looks like fun and music swirling around. For William I think it looked more like terror and vicious animals and dizzying blurs.
He was relieved to be off and have that awful sight at his back.
I love this picture and the way he is walking with purpose, away from that terrifying blur and not looking back.
My mom and I took William to the zoo while Henry was at school on his last day. We thought he'd enjoy the carousel, so I splurged on a token. How awful of me to keep snapping pictures as his terror unfolded. I just didn't want to forget that frightened 18-month old face or his deep gratitude to have his feet back on the ground again.

Love the collages and how you captured this memory. I don't blame William at all! I HATE carousels myself...I can't even watch them going around and around!
The last picture is great. William prefers jumping from HIGH places rather than spinning :-) Love that little adventurous boy.
Love you,
Erica
This is the funniest and cutest thing ever. I actually blogged a picture of Arianna doing the same thing last year at a fair we went to. I thought my kids were the only ones that got scared on rides. Love this post!
