Emmy's Bday Poem

Where has the time gone

It seems like yesterday

When I first held you in my arms.

All the bottles, pacifiers, and blankets are gone.

Hopefully, diapers will be quick to follow.

I've watched you grow from tiny to small-

first you held your head up, crawled, pulled up, then walked.

Now you run everywhere

with no time to rest.

You constantly learn and speak more each day.

We couldn't have picked a better name

Emmy it fits.

You're about to turn two

and this mommy isn't ready.

Not ready for complete potty-trained,

preschool or friends

Not ready for full sentences

or evening activities.

But the time is here

And I'm about to face it all.

And then I remember....

Emmy's still pretty small.
