I recall not when this phase had begun.
A snuggly baby, so observant at one, You are all that and more, as I now see at two-- Determined, exuberant, fun-loving you. But the ways, in a toddler, that these traits manifest Are proving to put your mom to the test. ▪ Marker on the carpet, papers on the floor, You enter a room and lock the door To explore things forbidden, with a mischievous smile-- Just for some of your time to beguile. Mom's make-up bag is a favorite for you. Frantically, I scramble the lock to undo... ▪ Mascara for your lips, lipstick for your eyes, And you didn't forget to give Mom the surprise Of nice, rosy carpet on my closet floor. (I almost wish I hadn't opened the door.) I would attempt the rosy stain to remove, but before I can try, I must follow you... ▪ You would like me to read, and so we go look (After wiping your face) for your favorite book. As we snuggle together, book in- between, You seem to be sleepy, and I sigh with relief. Yet, as you peacefully drift into dreams, I know to treasure it all - for, too soon...you'll be three.
