Perhaps I use too many words in my wordless Wednesday post.  I have this picture by the door, and it reminds me constantly that time slips through the hour glass.  Does it count as wordless if there are words on the picture?

(btw, I totally suggest doing something like this with your babies, the poem is as follows: (so you can copy and paste it)

Sometimes you get discouraged

Because I am so small

I always leave my fingerprints

on furniture and wall.

 

But every day I’m growing up.

And soon I’ll be so tall.

That all these little handprints

will be so hard to recall.

 

So here’s a little handprint

To have forever on your wall!

Maybe I tear up every time I read it… and maybe you do too.
