hello there, mr. president

two christmases ago, mr. pike's brother gave little girl a series of educational placemats. this one, with all the presidents, is little girl's favorite. we use it at almost every meal.

she likes to point to the pictures of the men and have me tell her their names. poor mr. james polk, our 11th president, is always mistaken for a girl -- no matter how often i correct her.

and mr. george h.w. bush, our 41st president, is always called "daddy." i guess there's a little bit of resemblance. what do you think? it just makes me smile.
