Ode to Baby Number Two

dedicated to the brave souls who are about to have their second.....

Baby number two
Three days after you were born
I was at your sister's My Gym class.

Baby number two
You were pretty difficult
Perhaps it was because I kept leaving you on the living room floor while your sister needed stuff.

Baby number two
I weaned you early
Now you don't know the animal sounds and you're almost three. Causation?

Baby number two
You are really funny
You are funnier than me, equating for the age differential.

Baby number two
You look just like me
It weirds me out but I also like it.
Pretty creepy

Baby number two
You are pretty good with colors
But I should have gone over that damn animal picture book more with you.

Baby number two
You do what you want, like the honey badger
It is enraging yet admirable yet terrifying.

Baby number two
I read to your sister way more than to you
Now she can read to you and I feel relieved yet guilt-stricken.

Baby number two
You give the best hugs
You also hit when provoked.  Rules are provocative.

Baby number two
Sorry again about the animal noises
Baa is not a cow.  God I suck as a mom.

Baby number two
Everyone loves your curly hair
I hope you don't develop a complex about it like I did.

Baby number two
You are a spirited child
That is what they are calling it nowadays.

Baby number two
You eat olives and artichokes
And leave over the cookie.  Weirdo.

Baby number two
You have no impulse control
When you are a teenager I will need Klonopin.

Baby number two
One time to prove a point
You kept one bite of sandwich in your mouth for 75 minutes.

Baby number two
You are your own person
But Mommy is glad to have you for now.

Baby number two
You are my sweet girl
Mommy loves you so much. (And the horsie says neigh.)
