Hadley At Three

She strikes a fashion model pose,
Complete with playful grin.
Her toddlerhood is over – 
Let the “girly” years begin!

She opens all her presents
Then insists she wants some more,
Surrounded by the wrapping paper,
Bows and cards galore.

She wants to hold her cousin,
Who’s a baby, on her lap.
“I don’t need any help!” she says,
Like it’s a handicap.

Today she’s turning three years old,
Which I cannot believe.
I wonder just what other tricks
She’s hiding up her sleeve.

This is delightful! PS'ers who bypass this one are missing out on a "barrel of monkeys!" Great write, Ilene! ~ Gershon
