Quarters are for spending

A cough and swallow
Points to her mouth, indignant,
"Mama! Coin! All gone!"

Are you kidding me?

Sit on my shoulders,
Vantage point to see the world.
Wait... Did you just poo?

Afternoon Activities

Rocks in the river.
Tossing, throwing, skipping rocks
All the live long day.

Tucking Her In

Night night. Sleep tight. Kiss!
Arms hold tight around my neck.
Drifting off to sleep.

Toddler Flirting

Batting eyelashes.
Cutie was two, curly hair
...And a big cookie.

Mama's Hosting Book Club

Life of the party,
The center of attention.
Time for night-night? Ha!

Tomato sauce

From eyebrows to chin,
From ear, past the grin, to ear.
Straight into the tub.

My daughter

A thing of beauty,
A joy forever. My heart
is in your sweet hands.

My favorite yoga pants

Soft cotton, faded
Well-washed, well-worn, so comfy
Big hole in the crotch.

Music To My Ears...

Singing in the car,
Old MacDonald had a cow:
"Mama! Stop it, pweese!"

Antibiotics

Antibiotics
So glad she feels much better!
Oh! The stinky poo.
