Happy Mother's Day

This is officially my third Mother's Day; my first being when I was pregnant with Safiyah. But I had no idea I'd be getting an actual Mother's Day gift from my baby girl! Safiyah, with undoubtedly great assistance from her childcare providers, made me a beautiful frame containing her precious handprint along with a poem. Check it out:

The poem reads:

Everyday I am exploring

Touching everything I've found

I leave behind my little marks

and handprints all around

You clean up those handprints

But someday when I'm grown

You'll wish you had just one

handprint to keep for your own

I made this handprint for you

So that one day when I am tall

You'll remember what my hand looked like

Long ago when I was small.

Awwwwwhhhhhhh!!!! I'm sure just three years ago, this would be another lame Mother's Day poem that I'd read and forget two seconds later. But with my little girl's precious handprint alongside it, it's priceless to me!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!!!
