On this day I can still be a baby.
The day after this I will be all grown up.
Two years old.
Wow. That is old.

Yellow.
I think the glass door to the back porch needs a color. The sun shines through that door.
So, yes, yellow it is.
I pick up my color stick and draw on the glass.
I step back and look at my work.
Yellow. Good choice.
It is a happy color.
The parts are better than the sum

Stack. Knock down. Screw. Unscrew. Push on. Yank off.
To build things is fun. But it is even more fun to take things apart. Into as many parts as I can.
Only then do I learn how things work.
Sunday morning drive

Dad wears shades when he drives.
So do I.
Mom broke my bed

Mom takes the mesh walls off the sides of my bed.
Broke it, I cry. What is there to stop me now from falling off?
“You are a big girl,” Mom says. “You will be fine.”
Like clock work

It is time to get up. But Mom still lies in bed. I tip toe in her room. I lean close. I grab an eye lash and pull one of her eyes open.
Beep, beep, I prompt her.
Give me a hand stand

I am at gym class and I think I will make summer sauce. But Mom grabs and holds my feet in the air.
I can stand on my head!
“That’s a great hand stand,” the coach says.
