Footprint Poem and picture made by tracing the foot or stepping in paint and making prints. Print the following poem:

"Walk a little slower, Daddy",
Said a little child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps,
And I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."

Author Unknown for Both Poems

Handprint Poem

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.

But every day I'm growing -
I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

President's Day Presidents' Day or Presidents Day???

The Presidents of the USA-Presidents Day

Presidents Day falls on the third Monday of February. This year Presidents' Day falls on February 15, 2010. Originally Presidents Day was known as Washington's Birthday on February 22nd. Then, America began celebrating Lincoln’s birthday on February 12th. So now both February 12 and February 22 were observed as federal public holidays. In 1971, President Richard Nixon combined the two holidays into one and ever since we have honored all past presidents on the third Monday of February. We celebrate the American presidency and the freedom it represents on this day.
