First Year With Kaylee

From sleeping through the whole night,
To cutting your first tooth to bite,

From watching you roll over,
To hearing your first word 'MUMMA',

From watching you crawl commando,
To seeing your first steps solo,

Your Nan has spent time with you nearly everyday,
And to be honest would have it no other way,

I've rocked you to sleep time after time,
Had you when you're sick giving your Mum piece of mind,

Cuddled you when you've been sad,
And told you 'No' when you've been bad,

Laughed with you when we've been playing,
Praised you when you're not misbehaving,

Just in one year you've developed at such speed,
First year milestones you've passed indeed,

Your presence is infectious you can't ignore,
Obviously an old soul you've been here before,

I think you've been sent to teach all of us,
Cause you're the perfect example of unconditional love.
