Standing

I wanna stand up I gotta stand up If I grab the crib rail and pull hard enough I’m bound to stand up I finally stand up I don’t think I thought through this standing enough I can’t lose my grip No, I can’t lose my grip My legs start to shake and there goes my hip I want mom to come in Please let momma come in I’ll try to look brave and give her a grin But I wanna sit down I’ve gotta sit down Standing like this I’m too far from the ground What did I do Just what did I do I know that I didn’t think this thing through I wanna let go I gotta let go Till I try it again and I will don’t you know Mdailey 11/20/11 My granddaughter (almost 7 months) stood up by herself for the first time and when my daughter went into her room she saw a scared little girl holding on for dear life not knowing what to do next.
