Toddler Marathon

Missing image

The clock struck 1 today
as I ran around the room
My three year old is off the walls
her nap can't come too soon

Running as she giggles
as she climbs up on the chair
As I try to reach for her
I'm met with an evil stare

One jump and she bounces
as her feet hit the floor
Round two coming up
I can't take much more

I finally catch her
and pull her into my arms
As she smiles so sweetly
and woos me with her charms

It is now 1:15 it's quiet
Jasmine is eating her Mac and Cheese
She's sitting in her highchair
while I get ready for round three

 

 

Author notes

Picture above is of my daughter Jasmine she is three years old and a very active little girl. 1 o'clock is her lunchtime each day and it is a marathon trying to catch her and settle her down long enough to eat. I hope this fits your contest I had fun writing it. If you're ever around at 1 I could use some help lol

    Oh this is wonderful!! Such a sweet and lovely poem about Jasmine! I enjoyed reading it very much.
    My little sister is growing up so fast! Give her a hug from me when you've managed to catch her.

    Keep on writing!

    That made me remember those days of kids that seem like they are made of quick silver. Double that up and you have what I had to deal with. Only 14 months between my two. Don't know quite how I survived but you do. Before you know it she will be rushing out the door on a drift of perfume (probably yours) going on dates. Time goes so quickly and they keep having birthdays. How you will smile when you read back at this, it's lovely.
