Just a Reminder...

Sometimes you get discouraged,

because I am so small

and always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls.

But every day I'm growing up,

and soon I'll be so tall

that all those little fingerprints will be hard to recall.

So here is a special handprint,

just so you can say

this is how my fingers looked when I placed them here today.

This little poem always comes to mind as I am wiping fingerprints and handprints off the windows and appliances in my home - a daily occurance. Some days it can seem like a never ending process and I try very hard to remind myself that my little ones are growing so quickly and some day I will honestly miss wiping these little handprints off.
