My Delightful Darling Nephew is 4! :)

                   

Adored you as I heard you burst into silly little songs of duckies and monkeys

Captivated as I listened to your long colorful stories 

Fascinated as I spied on you humming random little tunes

Enchanted as you gave us your spirited little dances

Awed as you deftly mastered numbers &words, clocks &puzzles

Warmed when you showered your mama with your innocent little nuzzles

Delighted when you gave her a bloom from the garden

Tickled as I saw you hang from your father's knee

And saw your chubby hand peek when you played hide n seek

Excited when I taught you to play Rock Paper Scissors

Contented as you let me read to you about Cleo and Daphne at nap times 

Overjoyed as I watched your splashy fun at bath times

Elated as we licked ice cream bars together and fought for chocolate crisps

Filled with pride when I heard you thank the delivery man, say hello & bye to the local store man

Teared with joy as I saw you stop on sidewalks to listen to a musician’s tune

And you wanted to give him the biggest coin mama had 

Missed your baby tongue say baalah for flower

Thrilled though at your toddler tongue little fellow

As I heard you say cocodile and lellow

Blessed by the joy you give us year after year 

From infant to baby & toddler to preschooler

Here you are, now, years four

Bless you my happy little treasure, keep shining more!
