a poem of love (and frustration)
May 27, 2023
Pick a book
(Read 2 pages)
I need drink of water
Not that book—this book
No I have to climb up the chair this way
(Read book 2)
I have to see if the moon is there
(Checks clock)
(Name every character
On every page)
Three-year-old Bedtime
Time for bed
Oh look, this book
You forgot to turn off the light, Mommy
Climb in bed
I have this blanket
You need play yellow Ed Sheeran song
For me, my Mila, Daddy
Can I have this blanket?
I think I don’t need this blanket
Where’s my abc’s pillow?
I need a drink
Do you need help?
No I got it
I have to go potty.
You need help?
Yeah.
I so happy with you Mommy.
Pee pee not working. Try again later.
I lay down over here on this side?
Mmmhmmm.
My koala need blankie
(Cover, uncover, cover)
Mommy, you snuggle me two minutes
I have a me-a-ta-tion. I pick.
Lambie is a pocket pal
He not listen to my friends
(Flips and twist hands
Points to imaginary friends)
You go back to the chair
I think Mommy I don’t need my koala
I think Mommy I don’t need the blankets
I think I don’t need my Lambie
Can I put this book right by here
To get to it later?
(Flip through pages)
Mommy? Mommy? Mommy?
Where Daddy go?
