My Contribution.

Walk a little slower daddy
said the child so small
I?m following your example,
and I don?t want to fall?

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are 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 want to lead just right
And I know that I was true
So walk a little slower Daddy
For I must follow you

We are painting our feet and making footprint cards with the poem inside.

Love the poem and your idea.

I did childrens' drawings of Dad transferred onto T shirts last year - nice but a bit expensive at nearly ten pounds each. This year we're doing table mats and mug/beer mats. I already had the beer mats so we're basically just covering them with kid's art.

I felt a bit choked at that poem too Starexpat! If that came to me in a Mother's Day card I'd bawl my eyes out!

Shoshe I love that idea, can I steal it? My mindees are 19m and 8m so I was going to do hand prints, but foot prints and that poem would be a lot better!

Oh dear - another bawling person here!
Do you mind if i copy that too?

We've decorated photo frames and put a cute photo inside. Older child had made a 'dancing' daddy with those paper pins.

I'm going to put this in a frame for my DH to put on his desk at work with DS's (20 months) footprint. Thank you for this idea.
