Loveable Monster

Dear lovable monster in a toddler body,

Mommy loves you…

But please stop chasing the cat,

No you cannot have cookies for breakfast,

Sure please lay in the floor and scream

Because I took a second and half to long

-to find the blue cup

-the right “bunny” yogurt

-will not let you play Picasso on my washer.

-we have to leave in an hour not right now.

And I will answer the question why six hundred and seventy-five times by 9 am!

But all that is worth it when you grab my neck and squeeze and say

I love you Mommy!

Worth it when you sing to me all the songs I have been singing to you

-ABc’s, twinkle, twinkle, Elmo’s song, and let’s not forget

-Get Lucky, Radioactive, and the ever popular Glee rendition of Pompeii!

And who can forget the adorableness of grabbing my hands screaming

DANCE PARTY Mommy!!!

Dinner time is a battle but if I can get a hot dog and a sip of milk in you

MOMMY SUCCESS!!!

While it is tiring,

The look in your eyes when you discover something new-

The way you brush your hands off and exclaim we done

After picking up two toys surrounded by a dozen more-

And that last sleepy eyed I love you before you finally snuggle in and fall asleep.

I would never trade a single moment of being your mommy...

You won’t be little long,

And as anything else-

This phase shall pass… You adorable little monster in a toddlers body!!!

Love, your amazed tired mommy
