1. I love it, how great!!!

[Cha]

10. Thanks, gopiscrap! :)

[elleng]

2. No, Cha,

you're not the only one, and same feeling every time he's done the same thing!

'Please excuse Billy for not being in class today, he was with me!!!'

[Cha]

6. I didn't think so, elleng..

Just checking..

Allanah Poullard.. such a little sweetheart and now she has a pic with PBO to show her kids and grandkids.

3. Sweet, Cha.

A beautiful photo of Alanah.

Look at PBO earnestly writing that note.

[Cha]

7. Exactly, she.. And, Allanah is

there in her fancy dress for the White House with the Wounded Warriors and PBO is "earnestly" writing her a note for her kindrgarten teacher. So Sweet~

21. From what I've read

even SOME adults try to show up wearing flip-flops! I don't know if it's actually banned, but people should be ashamed. We should all want to show respect. And yes, Allanah is just absolutely precious.

26. Another Sweet baby Cha~

[Triana]

4. Very sweet!

And little Alanah is a doll!

[Cha]

9. Hey Triana!

Such an adorable contrast those two.

5. What a DOLL!

And the little girl is mighty cute, too!

[Cha]

8. They make a sweet contrast, SKP..

little Allanah all gussied up for the White House and oh btw, Mr President.. "would you write me a note for my kindergarten teacher". Bam!

[babylonsister]

11. This man is so not cold. He does what is important, and I LOVE that! nt

[Cha]

12. President Obama is the opposite of "cold" and "aloof".. it's a beltway

bubble meme that goes nowhere, babylonsistah~

[Marie Marie]

13. No Cha, you are not alone. Endearing and adorable.

She will always remember this day and what a great memory that will be for her. Kids just seem to love our President.

[Cha]

14. I did not think so, Marie~

Who could not love that moment captured forever of little Alanah getting her note for her teacher from the President of the United States of America?

[calimary]

15. I LOVE photos like this one! Anything with President Obama and little kids.

Just so very dear!

He has a very gentle heart.

Thanks for posting this, Cha. A keeper for sure! And that little girl dressed in her Sunday best. He probably appreciates moments like this even more as he realizes his own little girls aren't so little anymore.

[Cha]

17. Good point about PBO appreciating it even more

because his girls are growing up fast, calimary~

Mahalo backatcha!

[calimary]

20. Hey, I think about that every time I see a little kid.

Mine are grown. One is already gone - off to the races on her own. She'll be 24 in a couple of weeks. The other has one foot out the door - it won't be long, I'm sure, since he's 21. Most of the other boys in the band are 23 and have either moved into their own places by now or are thinking seriously about it. I know it'll seem like two or three days til it happens. Seems like two or three days ago they were born.

[Cha]

22. I've had that thought once or twice myself! And,

it's been much longer that they were grown and off to their new lives.

[No Vested Interest]

16. This show the humanity of the man,

our President, Barack H. Obama.

[Cha]

18. Yeah, it does, No Vested Interested!

[Cha]

19. Kick for sweetness factor..

[hopemountain]

23. my smile of the day with this pic

precious! the both of them!

[Cha]

24. It's a keeper as we say, hopemountain! :)

[Cha]

25. Kick for Update!

27. Do something once and you'll have to do it forever!

Maybe he's made it a new Presidential Tradition for kids who get to visit the WH!
