If you create many layouts of children, you have probably run into the challenge of telling the story in different ways.
I have a tendency of saying “you love to” or “you had so much fun.” Of course, I believe my daughter loves whatever it is I am claiming she loves and is having fun doing whatever she is doing. But, if I say you love this and have so much fun doing this, it doesn’t seem as special anymore.
Time to pull out the thesaurus.
I thought I would share some synonyms for my two most used words:
Fun
- laugh
- pleasure
- enjoy
- amusement
- diversion
- merriment
- blast
- play
Love
- idolize
- delight
- beloved
- sweetheart
- cherish
- amour
- adore
- passion
- fondness
So you might have to rephrase how you might say something on a layout to use some of these synonyms, but I’m already more inspired to tell my story in a slightly different way.
