you do all the right stuff,
like boiling the binky and
powdering the duff.
Books all around,
only the smartest of toys.
Make sure there's no
stereotypes for girls or for boys.
The diapers are cloth,
the food all organic.
Schedules are made
so no need for a panic.
The number-one speed dial,
right up at the top,
is the pediatrician
for when crying won't stop.
Then along comes kid two,
oops, and then there is three,
and time is spent juggling
when once it was free.
So you focus on moments
'cause they grow up so fast,
not the brand name of diapers
or each milestone they've passed.
The binky gets dirty;
the clothes are all stained,
and you look toward the day
when they're all potty-trained.
But you learn that no matter
which books that you've read
the love that you give them
is greater instead.
