Best Mother's Day Gift Ever

whirlygirl00 · May 2012

A little backstory: Our hospital never did footprints and I didn't have the chance to do them myself at home in those first few weeks. I've always been kind of sad I didn't have that momento.

Yesterday I picked DS up from daycare and the teacher handed me a wrapped gift (in pink unicorn paper no less). I opened it and it was a handmade card with DS's footprints and hand prints!! I started crying, they must think I'm off my rocker.

It's so cute, they painted his hands and feet in different colors, included a poem and had him "sign" his name in crayon. I'm keeping this card forever!

I got a card yesterday too with this poem attached. I balled.

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

Oh man, I just teared up too!!!
