I Was There ... !
Nanny’s come a-visiting,
We’re playing in the lounge.
Lottie’s on her kiddie car,
Scooting all around
Lost within her tiny world –
Doesn’t know I’m there –
Moving all her little toys
To table from the chair.
Reach for toy, put in car,
Climb on car and then
Scoot, scoot, get off car,
Pick up toy again.
Turn around, step, step!
Put it on the table …
She doesn’t know she’s walking yet!
We didn’t think her able!
Step, step, back on car.
Scoots to chair and then
Mum comes in, Nan murmers, “watch …”
And off we go again.
Scoot, scoot, get off car,
Pick up little cow.
Step! Step! Put it down …
Mummy grins, “Oh, WOW!”
For my daughter Verity, and her daughter, Charlotte.
