AnonyMouse_3735 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Here are several, there are lots more, and we change words to go with the time of year/activity. I am sure I read the same idea somewhere else on the site but cannot find it again! 1 Sometimes I might upset you Because I am so small And always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls. But everyday I grow a bit And soon I'll be so tall That all those little fingerprints Will be so hard to recall. So here's a special handprint Just so that you can say This is how my fingers looked When I placed them here today 2 I miss you when we're not together I'm growing up so fast See how big I've gotten Since you saw me last? As I grow, I'll change a lot, The years will fly right by. You'll wonder how I grew so quick When and where and why? So save this card in a safe place So that you can recall Lots of special memories Of me when I was small. 3 My dirty little handprint I've left on every wall And on the drawers and tabletops I've really marked them all But here is one that won't rub off I'm giving it to you Because I am so thankful For a (mother/father/gran) just like you! 4 These little hands can wave Hello Or put smudges on the wall They can fold in prayer, throw a kiss Or reach up so very tall They'll clasp your hand for a little stroll Or shape a ball from clay But most of all, they'll stay with you When I'm grown up and far away 5 There used to be so many Of my finger prints to see On furniture and walls and things From sticky, grubby me. But if you stop and think awhile You’ll see I’m growing fast These little moments disappear You can’t bring back the past. So here is a small reminder To keep, not throw away Of tiny hands and how they looked To make you smile someday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_480 Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 Thankyou Inge for taking the trouble to type them all out. I have only heard one of them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Ditto me, it was the last one ! Thanks Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 It was good of Inge to type them up for everyone. I think I must be a very strange and cold hearted person as I found them all to be far too icky and cheesy. However, I will admit to using no.1 as most parents do like that kind of thing and I wouldn't let my personal views stop me from doing anything I think others would like. ( I bet you all feel sorry for my own children having a mum like me! ) mousebat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I love them and have typed them all out. Many Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Ok Mousebat - hate to say it but i too find them too much- but parents like them and so do others, I bow to the freedom of choice and use them occasionally (under pressure) if you think they are cheesy how about this one- Make a small box (Or buy one) and each child decorates it with sequins etc etc, get the child to catch a kiss inside the box (they all try to look for it) tie it up with ribbon and add the following rhyme Whenever you are lonely Or even feeling blue You only have to hold this gift And know I think of you you never can unwrap it Please leave the ribbon tied just hold the box close to your heart its filled with love inside.
