Did you know today is George Washington’s birthday? <\/p>\n

We have a son who firmly believes birthdays should (always and only) be celebrated on the actual anniversary of one’s birth. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not the weekend before.<\/p>\n

Not the weekend after.<\/p>\n

Not once the moving boxes are unpacked, or when we get home from vacation, or after the stomach bug has finished its rounds through our family.<\/p>\n

No. Only the day of<\/em> will do for this child. Otherwise — and I know this from experience — he will confide to anyone who’ll listen that this was his “worst birthday ever.”<\/p>\n

All I can say is, it’s a good thing he didn’t share George Washington’s fate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Free<\/a><\/p>\n

George was originally born on February 11, 1731, according to the Julian calendar, which was in use at the time. But twenty-one years later, Great Britain and all its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar, which moved Washington’s birthday to February 22, 1732.<\/p>\n

That means George had to wait an extra year and 11 days before getting to celebrate his 21st birthday. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"free<\/a><\/p>\n

Considering the longest I’ve ever made a child wait for a birthday celebration is about six days, I’d say we’re doing pretty good, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

\"free<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, now that we celebrate George Washington’s birthday on President’s Day, it’s constantly changing. But in honor of the February 22 date (tomorrow!), I offer you this collection of free printables<\/a> celebrating the Father of our Country on his special day.<\/p>\n

\"free<\/a><\/p>\n

If your kids need help filling in the blanks, send them to the Mount Vernon website<\/a>. I stumbled upon this site while planning our recent trip to the East Coast (pictures of our visit to Mount Vernon will follow shortly) and found it to be a great resource for all things Washington.<\/p>\n

\"free<\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, they can mark the day by coloring the pictures and memorizing the quotes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
